The Appellate Court of Montenegro confirmed the verdict by which Dejan R. Pavićević was sentenced to a single sentence of 18 years in prison for the criminal offenses of creating a criminal organization and aggravated murder by assisting Dalibor Đurić in ZIKS on September 22, 2016, while Miloš V. Trbo , sentenced to a single sentence of 16 years in prison for the same criminal acts.
The first-instance verdict in the High Court in Podgorica was pronounced by a special panel presided over by Judge Dragoje Jović.
"It has been unequivocally proven that the defendants Pavićević and Trbo committed the criminal acts of creating a criminal organization and aggravated murder by aiding and abetting. In their defenses, they denied committing the crime. However, their defenses contain numerous differences and are not logical. They headed in the vehicle towards the place where the burning vehicle was found after the murder. Đurić was murdered on September 22, 2016, in an insidious manner in the ZIKS warehouse. The role of the defendants was to destroy the traces after the murder, and a rifle and an optical sight were found in the burning Škoda Octavia. They didn't just destroy the tracks, they also got rid of the objects. A towel was found at Pavićević's house, which contained a substance for starting a fire. The defendants had the will and wanted to become part of a criminal organization and undertook a series of joint actions, regardless of the fact that they did not directly fire shots at Đurić. The defendants Pavićević and Trbo knew that a murder plan had been drawn up and they knew that Đurić's habits had to be found, and a suitable weapon had to be found, and then a way of hiding and finding a way to avoid the police had to be chosen. When determining the sentence, the court took into account the highest degree of criminal will, to kill Đurić at any cost," said judge Jović in a brief explanation of the first-instance verdict.
The indictment states that on September 22, 2016, in Pavićević's "Golf IV" BD AZ 065, they came from Kotor to Podgorica, where they turned off their mobile phones so that their further movement could not be determined, and then headed to Rogami, in order to visit the place where they will later burn the "damage to okravia" CB179VW and the evidence of the murder.
"After that, they headed to Danilovgrad, where, according to a pre-prepared plan, they waited for an as-yet unidentified person, in an insidious way and out of self-interest, to take the life of Đurić Dalibor - a convicted person in the Spuž Institute for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions, so in the meantime, while while the victim was walking, he fired one projectile from a 7,9 mm sniper rifle and caused the victim a gunshot wound to the chest, resulting in death. After that, Pavićević and Trbo returned to the town of Rogame, where the teacher left the "Škoda Octavia" and the rifle he used to shoot after the murder and fleeing the scene. The two then broke the rear windshield of the vehicle with a hammer and then poured gasoline into the cabin of that car and inserted several burning packages of hepo hocki, which caused a fire in order to destroy all material evidence and enable the perpetrator to move away unhindered in an unknown direction," it is written in indictments.
