Bulgarian Man Guilty of Assaulting Girl in Dundee Axe and Knife Incident
The sheriff rejected Belov’s self-defense claim and said CCTV and witness evidence proved he assaulted the girl and threatened four others.
- On Thursday, Dundee Sheriff Court convicted Ilia Belov, 22, of assaulting a 12-year-old girl and behaving in a threatening manner toward four girls aged between 12 and 14 in Lochee, Dundee.
- The trial heard Belov made sexual remarks including, "Come here sexy. I will show you how to have a good time" to girls in August 2025, leaving the 12-year-old feeling "dead angry."
- Belov claimed he pushed the girl to protect his sister from a concealed knife, but Sheriff Tim Niven-Smith rejected the account as "neither credible nor reliable" based on contradictory evidence.
- Belov's sister, Nadjedzha Belova, previously pled guilty to assaulting a 13-year-old girl during the incident, and both face sentencing on August 5 at Dundee Sheriff Court.
- Speaking after the conviction, a mother of one victim told BBC Scotland News the verdict was "a good thing," describing the ordeal as "heartbreaking" for the children involved.
