Dad murdered while pushing infant son in his buggy in Salisbury

Det Ch Insp Phil Walker, of Wiltshire Police, paid tribute to Mr Genov’s family for their “dignified manner” in court, while dealing with their “unimaginable loss”.

“Sadly, this is another murder involving the use of a knife,” he said.

“The defendant purposely armed himself with a knife and left the address he was in to confront the victim, before launching into a violent, unprovoked attack, ignoring efforts to stop him.

“TG was simply walking his son back to his mother’s address and did not present any danger to anyone.

“This was a violent assault in a public place and the defendant has not shown any true remorse for his actions.

“My condolences go out to TG’s family and friends and we hope this verdict will give them some comfort at such a difficult time.”
