He is one of the people who were detained last September in Kolárovo, and later charged in connection with the murder of Kuciak and his fiancée, Martina Kušnírová “Alena [Zsuzsová] asked him [Andruskó] in summer 2016 to take her to the forest where they collected the death angel mushroom,” reads the resolution was subsequently poisoned in late 2016.” The first to report this testimony was TV JOJ which did not initially name the journalist The person in question is Leona Kočkovičová Fučíková who reported mostly about the events in Nové Zámky and other locations in the south of the Nitra Region Several independent sources have confirmed the information that the file contains her name to Omediach.com adding that there is only a short mention about her Andruskó did not provide any further details Kočkovičová Fučíková died suddenly at the age of 32 She was skiing with her family and nothing indicated that she had any health problems they found she was bleeding into the brain “There was no autopsy,” TV JOJ reported “Doctors closed the case by saying it was acute leukaemia adding that the reason for her death was massive bleeding into the brain.” The reporter’s husband told the broadcaster that Kočkovičová Fučíková did not know Zsuzsová He also did not know about any threats or fears The reporter did not deal with Kočner’s scandals either There are several possibilities as to why Andruskó talked about the reporter’s poisoning “Zsuzsová could have used the death to scare Andruskó claiming that he could end up like her if he did not listen,” said the broadcaster’s reporter Zsuzsová may have been interested in getting rid of Kočkovičová Fučíková but the reporter died without her involvement there is also a possibility that Andruskó’s testimony is based on truth and Leona was really poisoned,” Haraksin reported Neither the police nor the prosecutor’s office have commented on the case so far TV JOJ has meanwhile contacted a hospital in Banská Bystrica The respective authorities are now trying to learn more about the reasons for the reporter’s sudden death Police officers that the Dennik N interviewed say that Andruskó most likely mentioned Kočkovičova's name only because he remembered she died He did not say anything that would suggest Zsuzsova was behind it It is not clear why the name of the deceased journalist even appeared in the investigation file water mills were a feature of almost every village along the larger rivers of Central Europe While several “fixed” mills along river banks have been preserved there is only one surviving floating mill among all the countries of the Visegrad Four its wheel turned just once at Kolárovo before becoming non-functional While several “fixed” mills along river banks have been preserved in Kolárovo on the Little Danube River its wheel turned just once at Kolárovo before becoming non-functional owner Ivan Šáli told the ČTK newswire “The mill wheel turned the first and also the last time when the tugboat brought it from its original place in Komárno to Kolárovo,” Šáli added This is not the original work but a functioning replica of a mill that used to work somewhere on the Danube River near the municipality of Radvaň on the Danube “But several parts are from the original mill,“ Šáli added There are believed to be only three surviving mills of this type in the world the other two being in Austria and Slovenia there used to be dozens of floating mills on the Danube and Váh rivers “There were five to seven of them just in Kolárovo,“ Šáli said their numbers decreased after a ban on further construction was introduced because they posed an obstacle to expanding river-borne ship traffic After World War II and post-war communist-era collectivisation The mill in Kolárovo was built at a cost of four million Czechoslovak crowns in the Komárno dockyards in 1982 based on a two-metre scale model by a master miller The original mill was owned by Béla Szivanyó and was constructed in around 1920 did not find a proper use in Komárno and gradually decayed thousands of people a year see this unique work in southern Slovakia “The mill was in danger of being destroyed a second time after it was brought to Kolárovo and renovated,” Šáli claims The town rented the mill to a group of young men who turned it into a pub for several months “The first thing they did was to saw off some parts with a chain saw,” the current owner said The damage amounted to Sk140,000 (about €4,600) but Šáli noted that it lacks a river current because five years after the mill was hauled to Kolárovo the body managing the river closed down the part on which the mill lies because of the planned construction of the Nagymaros dam “The river level was supposed to rise and fall by four metres every day – the old dams would not have been able to manage this difference,” Šáli explained Šáli said he does not want to risk starting the mill wheel with an electric motor for tourists’ sake because the power of the blades could tear the boats that support the mill wheel from their anchorage and damage them Visitors can reach the mill across what is perhaps the longest wooden roofed bridge in Central Europe It was built in 1995 to replace the original tourists can see a farmer’s house and yard a traditional bread oven used to bake salty baked goods and historical
