For this reason, the criminal proceedings against her will be terminated and she will not be held criminally responsible for the act.

Sofia District Prosecutor Natalia Nikolova said she would ask the court to place Plachkova in a psychiatric hospital for compulsory treatment for the maximum period of six months. The motive of the prosecutor's office is that this is also the recommendation of the experts who conducted the examination. According to them, Plachkova presents a very high risk of aggression and suicide.
