Scuko admits to a murder / Scurko se priznal k vrazde

Since we are on that hockey roll, I have got a juicy hockey news for you. A well-known Slovakian hockey player Ladsilav Scurko was arrested for a murder. The 23-year-old star confessed to killing a referee Marek Liptaj from Poprad with 14 knife stabs in January 2008 at a highway roadhouse. He buried the corpse in the forest which was discovered 11 months later by the police. It is not yet known why he killed this man but he is currently facing about 20 years  to a life time of jail sentence. It is too bad since Ladislav was a very gifted player. Not only did he play for the Western Hockey League’s Seattle Thunderbirds but he also represented Slovakia at 2 World Championships.

CZ: Kdyz uz se ted bavime o tom hokeji, mam pro vas velmi stavnatou hokejovou novinku. Znama slovenska hokejova hvezda Ladislav Scurko se priznal k tomu, ze v lednu minuleho roku zavrazdil hokejoveho rozhodciho Marka Liptaje z Popradu. Nejmene 14-krat bodl svou obet do hrudi a do zad na odpocivadle u jdene z vypadovek nedaleko Kosic a pak mrtve telo zahrabal v nedalekem lese. Telo bylo objeveno v prosinci 2008, tedy o 11 mesicu pozdeji. Motiv cinu ze prozatim vysetruje, ale Scurkovi hrozi 15 az 20 roku vezeni, ne-li dozivoti. Je to skoda, protoze to byl velmi nadany hrac; nejen ze hral za Western Hockey League’s Seattle Thunderbirds, ale take reprezentoval Slovensko na 2 Mistrovsvich sveta.
