Aysel was reportedly stacking shelves in the retail store when her ex-boyfriend Plamen P, 48, arrived – and began rowing with her.

Just after a few minutes, he pulled a semi-automatic gun and fired a barrage of bullets at Aysel.

Plamen then turned the gun and shot himself in front of dozens of horrified shoppers, young children, and employees.

Police officers quickly arrived in Mörfelden-Walldorf near Frankfurt, Germany, and cordoned off the store.

Those who witnessed the bloodbath were immediately offered counselling.

The victim’s brother Altanay told local media: “He destroyed her. He didn’t leave her alone.

“She told me, ‘One day, I’ll go to work and won’t come home. He will come and kill me.'”

Aysel was a Bulgarian of Turkish descent but had lived in Germany for 13 years.

Plamen who was from Bulgaria as well, had been in a relationship with her.

However, Aysel broke up with him six months ago while the two were on holiday in their homeland

The police believe Plamen shot her because of the bitter ending of their relationship.

After their breakup, he allegedly began stalking her.

According to Aysel’s family and friends, she’d gone to the police on several occasions to report him.

She even hired a lawyer – and is reported to have taken out a restraining order on him.

Plamen was due to attend a court hearing on 15 February about an alleged assault on the victim.

He turned up to her flat uninvited and choked her, it has been alleged.

Prosecutors are now investigating how Plamen obtained the gun since he did not have a firearms license.
