The man to whom the chief prosecutor of Chisinau municipality Ivan Diacov made reference in an online program, suggesting that he was the ‘Durlesti maniac’, is not on the list of suspects in the case of the double murder of April 2011, when a boy aged 18 and his girlfriend of 15 were found dead in a car in Durlesti town of Chisinau municipality.

Contacted by IPN, prosecutor Corneliu Bratunov, of the Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO), said the man to whom Ivan Diacov referred was arrested and then sentenced to 23 years in jail for killing his wife in August 2011. The man took the lie detector test. His fingerprints and a DNA sample were examined in Romania. The results showed that he wasn’t involved in the double murder of Durlesti. That murderer is still at large.

Prosecutor Ivan Diacov has told IPN that he does not know about the results to which the prosecutors of the PGO make reference, but there is the psychological portrait of the criminal and they should work at it.

On April 1, 2011, two teens, Ilie and Olga, were found dead in a car parked in a field near a church in Durlesti. They were shot from a hunter’s gun. The police had several suspects, including a man who turned out to have died five years before the commission of the crime.
