Football boss shot dead in Sofia

Lokomotiv Plovdiv logo The president of a leading Bulgarian football team, Lokomotiv Plovdiv, has been shot dead in a suburb of the capital, Sofia.

Police say Alexander Tasev, 45, was found with two bullet wounds in his head, in his black Mercedes car.

Mr Tasev owned a large import-export business.

The killing comes less than two years after the club's previous owner, Georgy Iliev, was shot dead by a sniper in a Black Sea resort.

Police linked the Iliev murder with rivalries between drug-trafficking gangs.
