The case of the kidnapping of the student Sone: The regional court will deal with the retrial

The complaint of the prosecutor, as well as the complaint of Iva P. against the resolution on the permission to renew the proceedings in the case of last year’s kidnapping and intoxication of the student Sona, were delivered to the Municipal Court Bratislava I within the legal deadline. Complaints will be dealt with by the Regional Court in Bratislava. This follows from information provided to TASR by court spokesman Pavol Adamčiak.

“After taking actions in accordance with the Criminal Code, i.e. after drawing up the resolution and dispatching the decision to the parties to the proceedings and after taking actions before presenting the case, the criminal case in question will be submitted to the Regional Court in Bratislava to decide on the filed complaints against the resolution to allow the resumption of the proceedings,” zoomed in on the speaker.

On Thursday, December 5, the Bratislava City Court allowed the resumption of proceedings in the case of the kidnapping and intoxication of the female student. He returned the case to preliminary proceedings and at the same time decided to take Ivo P. into custody. The prosecution was initially stopped due to the insanity of Ivo P. at the time of the crime.

The police received a report about the student’s disappearance last September. She was found unconscious and intoxicated near a hospital in Bratislava’s Petržalka. The investigator of the Bratislava regional criminal office charged Ivo P. from Bratislava with the crime of rape and the crime of restricting personal freedom. The court subsequently took the accused into custody.

At the end of April, the prosecutor of the Bratislava regional prosecutor’s office stopped the criminal prosecution against Ivo P. due to his alleged mental illness and resulting insanity at the time of the crime. At that time, the court issued a preliminary order for his placement in a medical facility. In July, the Prosecutor General of the Slovak Republic Maroš Žilinka informed about the prosecutor’s proposal to reopen the proceedings due to new facts related to the assessment of the accused’s insanity.
