Senjak: prosecutors expand the Nesovic murder investigation and clarify Milic's role

On June 13, the Higher Prosecutor's Office said it had expanded the investigation into Aleksandar Nesovic's killing at restaurant "27" in Senjak: Sasa V. and Mario S. are now suspected of aggravated murder as co-perpetrators, Danka V. of assisting aggravated murder, and evidentiary actions were ordered for eight more suspects. Veselin Milic now appears in the failure-to-report branch; prosecutors had earlier explained that the assistance-after-the-crime part of the complaint was dismissed because evidence did not confirm he was present at the killing or removed traces.

(Tužilaštvo objasnilo zbog čega je odbačen deo krivične prijave protiv Veselina Milića)

On June 13, 021 published the Higher Prosecutor's Office explanation: the May 16 statement concerned an investigation initially opened against 10 people, later increased to 13, while Milic was then suspected of failing to report a crime/perpetrator and assisting a perpetrator after the act. In the subsequent investigation, material evidence and witness statements showed that the police complaint was inaccurate in some parts about specific actions and roles.

Higher Prosecutor's Office explained why part of the complaint against Milic was dismissed

(VJT objasnilo zbog čega je odbačen deo krivične prijave protiv Milića)

On June 12, N1 carried the Higher Prosecutor's Office response to RTS: statements citizens give to police during pre-investigation are not evidence under the Criminal Procedure Code; evidence is testimony given before prosecutors as a witness or suspect. According to the office, most witnesses questioned, including Aleksandar Nesovic's wife and people who were with Veselin Milic at the restaurant, did not confirm that Milic invited the victim to come without security; prosecutors also said Milic was not in the restaurant at the time of the aggravated murder and did not remove traces.
