The village high two days after the murder."He treated a woman as a usurper," they say about the victims<

From the information available to the editors, it follows that the attack on the man could have been the result of the victim's behavior towards his partner. According to many, this was even dictatorial and tyrannical.

Since Sunday, the locals in the village have been talking about practically nothing else, and the scraps of information are shaken mostly in the crowd in front of the local convenience store. Many knew the couple by sight, others a little better. However, none of them expected such an end to the relationship.

"The couple moved to Bosyně a few years ago from neighboring Vysoké. Here in the village, they bought part of a villa from the original owner, who still uses it. It used to be a kindergarten, where I also went. I knew the murdered man and his girlfriend, and even worked for them for a while. The man ran a dry cleaner and Persian carpet shop in Prague. I can say for myself that working for him was not exactly the most pleasant. That's why I stopped working with him after a while. He bullied us and his partner a lot at work. He treated her like a usurper. She was nice and I was surprised that she liked it," says local Miroslav Kožnar.

However, even after four years, practically no one in the village really knows what the privacy of the partners was like. "They had no children together. The man had a son from his first marriage who lives overseas, and the woman had a descendant with relatives. We didn't see them much in the village, only in the summer they rode around on e-bikes. Otherwise, they were at work in Prague until the evening and went to shack and even had a local man bring them food or wine. They probably had enough money," adds another man standing in a crowd in front of the convenience store.

According to a Vietnamese man who runs a convenience store in Vysoké, the murdered businessman used to shop at the store, but he did not show up at the store for the last two months. "I think the gentleman was perhaps sick. He didn't go to the store and when I saw him, he was always sitting in the passenger seat of his Dacia, and the lady was driving. What happened surprised us a lot," describes the Vietnamese salesman.

Even the mayor of Vysoké Elena Maryšková, who was contacted, did not personally recognize the murdered man. "He always let someone else take care of official matters for him. We met in the village about a year ago only to ask if we would allow him to operate his carpet cleaning company in the village. We refused him that," says the mayor. According to her, it would be a big ecological burden for the municipality.

Although or precisely because the locals were friends with the couple sporadically, a lot is said about the couple. Also the fact that roughly two years ago, a man allegedly chased his girlfriend around the village with a knife in his hand, and the police should have intervened. "It is said in the village, and even that he had weapons at home and carried one with him for his own protection, but if this is true, no one really knows," says another 60-year-old interviewed, who introduced himself as Jaroslav.

Representatives of the Central Bohemian police did not confirm the rumors that in the past it was allegedly necessary to settle the strained relationship of the couple with the participation of the police. Its director Václav Kučera replied to Deník's question that he had no information about such an initiative.

His deputy for the criminal police Ondřej Smotlacha, under whose leadership the investigative team falls and who has detailed information about the work on the case, shakes his head. "It's not like we went to that environment and they were familiar people to us," he stated. However, he did not want to say anything else about the circumstances of the act itself. "It's still a very fresh thing," he emphasizes.

Also, Deputy Director for External Service Jan Tulach, who commands the uniformed police, including the patrols that go out to deal with reports on line 158, indicated to Denik that nothing had previously signaled the impending tragedy that occurred. "I have no information that we have trips there regularly," he says.
