Bohinc and her partner Alexis Tioseco (1981), a Filipino film critic, were killed as their home was robbed in Manila, the Philippines.

Bohinc was freelance film critic and editor-in-chief of Slovenian film magazine Ekran between 2006 and 2008 (www.ekran.si), a member of the programme board for two Slovenian film festivals: Ljubljana International Film Festival (www.liffe.si) and Isola Cinema Film Festival (www.isolacinema.org); and president of FIPRESCI Slovenia. She had been working as European Content Provider for SEA Images, supported by the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) (http://sea-images.asef.org).

According to Slovenian cultural minister Majda Širca, who conveyed condolences to her parents, "This is a great lost. With the loss of Nika, the Slovenian film societ lost an active, bold and intellectual person."
