Hundreds of relatives, friends and colleagues of slain Bulgaria journalist Viktoria Marinova attended her funeral in her native town of Ruse on Friday, just after German police announced that a suspect has acknowledged attacking her.
People queued at the Holy Trinity Cathedral to pay tribute and lay flowers at the coffin of the 30-year old, whose body was found in a park near the Danube River on Saturday.
An Orthodox priest performed a liturgy with a procession passing the casket to pay last respects before the funeral.
Marinova is survived by a 7-year-old daughter.
Ruse mayor Plamen Stoilov told reporters that "the brutal slaying has cast a shadow over the peaceful city."
