The senate fully embraced the decision handed down by the Specialised Criminal Court in Pezinok (Bratislava region), according to which the reasons for custody still apply. Of the trio of defendants, Miroslav M. was the only one who did not file an appeal against the extension of his custody. He is cooperating with the police and pleading guilty to the murders.
