A 14-year-old boy charged with killing his 45-year-old mother in Plovdiv is appealing against his arrest and asking for a lighter restriction. The case is now before the appeals court.

The woman was found dead at her home on 9 October. Her son himself called the 112 emergency number.

The background: Plovdiv boy, 14, charged with murdering his mother, stays in custody

A week ago, Plovdiv regional court kept the boy in custody. It said the evidence is enough to support a reasonable suspicion that he committed the crime.

Plovdiv regional prosecutors say the boy planned the act and was not acting in a fit of rage.
