According, the most likely motive for the murder is the professional activity of the journalist. The cause of the death of a young couple were gunshot wounds: Kuchak received a bullet in the chest, his girlfriend - in the head.
"The evidence points to the fact that the murder was planned, not spontaneous," the police said.
According to media reports, Kuchak was known for his work in the field of tax fraud. Among his recent investigations was the sale of elite housing in Bratislava by businessmen who had connections with the Social Democratic Party of Slovakia and organized criminal groups.
The promptest investigation of a resonant crime was called on by the President of Slovakia, Andrei Kisa.
"We must find those who have done this as quickly as possible and provide security for all journalists," he said.
For other journalists of Aktuality.sk, in which Kuchak worked, the police will provide state protection.
