The tragedy was also commemorated by ex -president Zuzana Čaputová. “It’s been 7 years. Maybe their 6-year-old son or daughter, perhaps more children, would be with them today. Completed house, fulfilled dreams, even those wasted or postponed as it is in life. Behind John certainly new great articles, behind Martina’s new archaeological discoveries, “she wrote on the social network.
“Seven years of their lives that did not happen. Because Ján’s exceptional investigative work was disturbed. Every loss, especially young lives is a tragedy. All the more if it happens to fulfill the mission. In today’s world, when the most precious item becomes hope, we must not give up with our efforts for better Slovakia. Also because of John and Martin, “said the former head of state.
