The search for the 49-year-old Výborný from Revúca was announced on Thursday (November 7), the European arrest warrant was issued a day later. Criminal investigators from Revúca and Banská Bystrica worked to track down the man. “We also asked colleagues from the targeted search department of the Presidium of the Police Force to cooperate, and the joint investigation and verification of information led us to cooperation with the National SIRENE Center, from where information about the arrest of the wanted man came today.” Kováčiková zoomed in.
Excellent was the day before the search was announced by the Supreme Court of the Slovak Republic, where he was legally convicted for the particularly serious crime of premeditated murder of his ex-girlfriend. In 2022, he was supposed to intentionally cause a head-on collision between two passenger cars near Revúca, in which his ex-girlfriend lost her life. The motive was supposed to be property disputes. On the day of the crime, the man should have asked the ex-girlfriend’s son when the mother would return to Revúca and whether she would go alone. He searched the Internet for words such as homicide, criminal charges or murder. The court sentenced him to 25 years in prison for the crime.
