He told me that he was attacked by three people

Bjelopoljac Refik Ćatović he said he was his son Elvis after spending three months in the Bjelopolje prison, he said that he was threatened by three people, but also that he was told that he could not talk about the details and that he would present everything at the trial.

He said this yesterday in the Bjelo Polje High Court, before which a citizen of Serbia is being tried for the attempted murder of Ćatović Ljubomir Lazic.

In that court, the proceedings against Ćatović, who died on November 27 last year in the local hospital, as a result of the coronavirus, were previously suspended.

Ćatović was in the pre-trial detention center on charges of murder Željka Pavkova (46) and attempted murder of Lazić.

"A great injustice was done to me and I am outraged at this court for releasing Lazić, which caused me great pain and suffering. Because of corona, I could not visit my son for a while in prison. I couldn't even hug my child and wish him a happy birthday. May God judge all those who helped this case drag on for so long, and who did not provide him with medical help in time," said Ćatović.

Ćatović's neighbor Sućro Omerović he said that on the critical evening, in the period from 23 to 24 hours, he was in the "Goja" restaurant, when Elvis called him by phone and told him that he was at his house.

"Elvis told me that he was attacked by three people and called me to come home," Omerović said, adding that he arrived home after half an hour and that his wife told him that she saw Ćatović leaving their house and that he the hand was bleeding, but she did not specify which one.

He was then warned by the court about the differences in his testimony, that is, that he said in the investigation that after that conversation he called his son to ask what happened and that he did not mention the bloody hand at that time.

Omerović, however, said that he stands by today's testimony.

He explained that he cooperated with Ćatović on business, through a construction company, and at the insistence of Lazić's legal representative, lawyer Vidomir Bošković, he said that he cooperated in the same way with Sak Kolić. Lazić claimed that he was just keeping Pavkov company that day and that he was almost killed.

A XNUMX-year-old man from Zemun told earlier that, while he was seriously wounded and bleeding, an inspector pressed his right fist into his lungs in the Bjelopolje hospital. Miodrag Seki Šekularac, threatening him that if he didn't tell who sent them to kill Elvis Ćatović, he would bleed to death like his friend, and that he continued the beatings and threats a day later in the Clinical Center of Montenegro.

The accused Lazić was handed over to the Montenegrin judicial authorities several months ago after his escape.

According to the amended indictment, Lazić is accused of intentionally trying to take the life of Ćatović on August 13, 2018, around 23.30:XNUMX p.m., in the immediate vicinity of the victim's house in Potkrajci, after firing several shots from a pistol of an unknown brand, of which a projectile hit him in the area of ​​the upper arm of his left arm, causing a gunshot wound.

According to the indictment, Ćatović killed Pavkov at the same time. At the same time, he tried to kill Lazić.

The trial continues today, when the medical expert Dr. Nemanja Radojević will be heard, and the autopsy report of Pavkov will be presented.
