Mladen Janković from Podgorica surrendered to the police yesterday, who suspected him of wounding fellow citizen Mladen Lakušić in October 2014, but the latter did not recognize him as the attacker.
Janković, accompanied by his defense counsel, lawyer Branko Anđelić, came to CB Podgorica shortly before 10 am.
Not long after, inspectors and prosecutor Suzana Milić called Lakušić and witness Andrija Laković for identification.
None of the victims confirmed the police's suspicions that Janković was one of the two masked attackers who fired several bullets at Lakušić a few months ago, three of which hit him in the left leg.
Janković's defense attorney, lawyer Anđelić, told "Vijesta" yesterday that he attended the "official act of recognition".
"Both the victim and the witness claimed that they did not recognize Janković as the attacker," Anđelić said.
After the wounded and the witness did not identify him as the person who shot, Janković was released.
A few hours later, Radoje Radulović, who the police suspected of being the second attacker of Lakušić, reported himself to the police, accompanied by lawyer Anđelić.
He too, after denying before the inspectors that he participated in the attack, left the Security Center building.
According to unofficial information from "Vijesti", the two were questioned in the first days of the investigation into the injuries of the Podgorica citizens, but then they did not invite the victims to identify them.
Not long after that, the police issued a local warrant for them, suspecting that they were the ones who pulled the gun on Lakušić in October.
"Vijesti" sources from the police claim that the two have not been in Montenegro since the warrant was issued for them.
Lakušić was shot in Bokeška Street in Podgorica, on the night between October 13 and 14, while he was getting into a parked car.
Two men with caps approached him, one of them called him by his last name, and when he turned around, they tried to hit him.
After he pushed them away and partially got into the vehicle, they opened fire, and three bullets hit the man from Podgorica.
"Vijesti" was previously told that the attackers continued to shoot even after Lakušić was wounded, entered the car and slammed the door.
