On March 2nd, a 36-year-old Bulgarian student nurse, named Stanislava Kukusheva, matched with a man on Tinder, and just five days later, got tangled in a murder case. She met Ali Danish Sayed, a 29-year-old Dutch national, and soon her DNA ended up on the pistol he used to kill Talib Guzel, a father of two. In a Turkish social club in North London, earlier that night, Sayed walked into the club in Tottenham, fired a single shot into Guzel's torso, and rode away on a bicycle after tricking a friend. Into driving him there. About an hour later, he showed up at Kukusheva's flat for just 85 seconds to drop off the gun before speeding off towards Scotland. Kukusheva had moved from food picking in Bulgaria to studying nursing in London, even landing an 11,000-pound grant for her course. In court, she insisted the DNA transfer during sex they had days earlier, but the jury didn't buy it, convicting her of possessing the firearm. While acquitting her friend of other charges, weeks later, police found the hidden gun with

her DNA on the grip and bags around it, linking her directly. Sayed, hired by a Turkish gang over another killing, fled through Edinburgh, Brussels, and Doha to Pakistan, where he's still hiding. Meanwhile, Kukusheva started a five-year prison term last month, losing her nursing job in facing depression as the real shooter evades capture, and the victim's family waits for justice.
