A murder like in Miorita ballad. A 56 years old shepherd was killed by another three shepherds. Tragedy occurred this night in Salcuta Noua village of Causeni district, writes prime.md.

The murder produced in Salcuta Noua has terrified the whole village. People say that something like this has never happened in the locality. 

It is assumed that the offense took place on the territory of a herd. The owner claims that the three men who have been indicted for murder have been here for months, and one of them was scolded by the law.

This assumes that the shepherds committed the crime after midnight. He thinks that the victim, who also worked as a shepherd, but at another sheepfold, would have been killed with an ax.

The three aggressors put the bloody body on a sled and threw it a little further, in a ditch on the side of the road.

The blood traces left on the white snow indicate exactly the way they traveled.

The three suspects were detained for 72 hours. Two of them recognized their blame. They risk detention for life.
