DNA traces of the profiles of the accused Filip Brnović and Nebojša Braković were found on hand grenades thrown in the yard of the Buškulić family's house in Zagorič in October.

This, as announced during the continuation of the trial of the defendants, was established by the experts of the Danilovgrad Forensic Center.

Brnović and Braković are charged with illegal possession of weapons and explosive devices, in connection with endangering the safety of the Buškulić family.

Court expert in forensic genetics, Jelena Jovanović, explained that the biological material of two people was found on both hand grenades, with the fact that the trace of Brnović was found on one, and the trace of Braković on the other.

She also said that the traces of another person on both bombs could not be identified, because they were minimal.

"A mixed DNA profile of at least two people was obtained, on one of the dominantly read alleles they match the corresponding DNA profile of Braković Nebojša, and on the other Filipa Brnović," said Jovanović.

Court expert Željko Golubović found that Brnović was able to function normally on the evening in question, although under the influence of alcohol, while Braković stated that his ability was significantly reduced due to "acute alcohol intoxication of a severe degree".

Witnesses Milovan Perović, Dražen and Aleksandar Boričić confirmed the defense of the defendants yesterday that they were in the pub on the day in question, where they drank with the company and that they left the pub after the crime had been committed.

The trial continues on December 24.

M-52 and M-75 hand grenades were thrown from the street into the yard of the house, and the powerful explosion shattered the windows of that house and the neighboring house of Buškulić's brother, while the shrapnel ended up in their bedrooms.
