Aldi worker shot dead at supermarket predicted she was going to die

An Aldi worker who was shot dead in the supermarket by her ex-partner eerily predicted her own death.

Aysel I, 38, previously said: ‘I’ll go to work and won’t come home. He will come and kill me.’

She had been stacking shelves at the store in Mörfelden-Walldorf, near Frankfurt, Germany, on Monday, when her ex, Plamen P, 48, came in and started arguing with her.

After a few minutes he pulled out a semi-automatic gun and started firing shots at her.

Young children, shoppers, and employees were left shocked after at least one of the bullets hit her in the head, killing her instantly.

The gunman turned the weapon on himself and died before police arrived at the scene to cordon off the shop.

Those who saw the ordeal have been offered counselling.

Although Plamen had no criminal record, police believe he shot his ex because he was bitter about how their five-month relationship ended.

The pair separated while on holiday together in their homeland of Bulgaria but he allegedly started stalking her following the breakup.

She went to the police on several occasions, hired a lawyer, and had taken out a restraining order against him, according to friends and family.

Plamen was due to attend court on February 15 following an alleged assault against Aysel.

It is believed he turned up to her flat uninvited and tried to choke her.

Her brother Altanay said: ‘He destroyed her. He didn’t leave her alone.

‘She was my only sister.

‘She was such a lovely, joyful, and friendly person.

‘She was a dedicated saleswoman and very popular.’

Prosecutors will now investigate how Plamen bought the gun because he did not have a firearms licence.

The Aldi branch, where Aysel had worked for a year, placed candles at the entrance in tribute to her.
