The General Prosecutor's Office found several serious failures in the conduct of state authorities in the case of the murder of 47-year-old teacher Zuzana V. from Gelnica prior to her death. After reviewing the criminal case that preceded the murder, General Prosecutor Maroš Žilinka stated that there were serious violations of the law and an improperly conducted interview of the injured woman. teraz.sk ↗
According to available information, the case concerned convicted Tomáš V. and was related to events preceding the tragedy. Žilinka described the previous investigation as mishandled and announced that accountability would be pursued. The case has raised questions about whether the state was able to provide the woman with adequate protection at the time she turned to the relevant authorities. sme.sk ↗
The Ministry of Justice agreed with the General Prosecutor's conclusions. It stated that the preliminary results of the oversight indicate failures at all levels of the criminal proceedings. However, the police deny having erred in their conduct prior to the murder, and also disagree with the claim of an improperly conducted interview of the murdered teacher. SITA ↗
The opposition also reacted to the findings, saying the state failed to protect Zuzana V. The Slovakia movement is demanding the resignation of Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok. Further developments will depend on the completion of the oversight review and on whether the prosecution's findings are followed by concrete disciplinary or criminal steps against those responsible.
