Three bodies, including that of a 15-year-old, were found on Sunday in a van parked in a remote part of Stara Planina.

Investigators said the case was linked to another that occurred six days earlier, when the bodies of three men were found near a burned-out cabin.

Officers said CCTV footage showed the two groups saying goodbye to each other at the hut, with the three who remained at the scene later filmed setting it on fire.

Bulgaria's acting prosecutor general Borislav Sarafov said the case contained "more shocking details" than Twin Peaks — the drama about a murder investigation in a US logging town.

Prosecutors said the deaths were likely murder-suicides or suicides — sparking fevered speculation in the country and criticism of the investigation.

The national police chief branded the case an "unprecedented crime" unlike any other seen before in the country.

The first three men, aged 45, 49 and 51, were found dead near a burned-down hut on 2 February, local media reported citing Bulgaria's interior ministry.
