Sofia City Court psychiatrist Ruslan Terziiski requested an extension of the court's medical examination of Daniela Terziiska (no relation) on Tuesday. The extension has to be permitted by the Sofia City Court, which was expected to make its ruling by the end of this week.

The 29-year-old Terziiska admitted to killing her three-year-old son Petar on March 16. The murder sparkled a massive anti-government protest by taxi drivers (Petar was the son of a taxi driver) on March 16.

Terziiska was charged with the murder of the boy the next day, but the court case was postponed on March 19 for an evaluation of her mental health, to determine whether she could be held legally responsible for her actions. The psychiatrists at the Forensic Psychiatric and Psychological Clinic in Sofia were given 30 days to return with a decision - the deadline expired on Wednesday.

Terziiski reasoned the request with the complexity of the examination.

If Terziiska is pronounced mentally ill, there will be no court case. The investigation into the case would be terminated as well.

The preliminary unofficial conclusion of court psychiatrist Ruslan Terziiski on March 19 was that Daniela Terziiska was suffering from a disorder termed schizoaffective psychosis.

The case investigator, Roza Kaplanova, still has not allowed Terziiska's lawyers, Georgi Pochekanski, Kiril Stanchev, Reni Tsanova, and Denio Prodanov, to look at the materials gathered by the police investigation. They have also been unable to meet with the prosecutor on the case, Plamen Hristov.

Sofia City prosecutor general Valeri Parvanov said that Terziiska could not personally hire any lawyers until it was proven that she was not mentally ill. She could only be appointed a duty solicitor.

Even after Terziiska admitted to the crime, rumours and theories have spread as to exactly what happened on the morning of the murder.

A movement "The Truth About Pepi" was formed on April 2 to try to uncover the exact sequence of events. Founder Mariana Marinova-Kasabova explained the group's purpose. "There is an information blackout on the case," she said. "There are things that do not fit well in the official version."

One such perceived discrepancy was provided by stills from a video recording that Monitor daily published on March 28. The recording allegedly showed Terziiska carrying her living son at a time, when, according to the official police version, the boy should have been dead. The recording was made by the security cameras of the PRIMA Business Centre (at the intersection of Tsar Boris III Boulevard and Sofiiski Geroi Street).

The police quickly seized the PRIMA tape to examine its authenticity and what exactly it showed. The Interior Ministry's Scientific Criminology Institute has not revealed any results as the investigation is ongoing.
