Today, a hearing was held in the High Court in Podgorica where the justification and legality of the indictment brought by the High State Prosecutor's Office against Dražen P. Vojvodić, resident in Cetinje, and Novice G. Đikanović from Podgorica, for the brutal murder of Vidak Vujović, was held.
The state prosecutor in the Higher State Prosecutor's Office, Danka Ivanović Đerić, stood by the allegations of the indictment and proposed to the court to confirm it.
Lawyer Damir Lekić, the defendant Vojvodić's defense attorney, suggested that all evidence collected by authorized police officers be excluded from the case file, as legally invalid. He pointed out that at the time of evidence collection on April 11, 2023, an indictment for abuse had been brought against the policemen as early as 2022, and that the court process was ongoing. He believes that a decision on their suspension and temporary removal from work should have been made earlier. He reminded that the Minister of Police, after he pointed out this problem, issued a decision on suspension. He added that until the court's decision on the exclusion of evidence from the case file is made, Vojvodić's guilt will not be declared.
Lawyer Aleksandra Rogošić, defending the accused Đikanović, accepted the proposal of lawyer Lekić and stated that the indictment was unsustainable.
"I suggest that the criminal proceedings be suspended or that the indictment be returned to the prosecutor to prepare it," she stated.
Lawyer Vidomir Bošković suggested that the proceedings against Đikanović be suspended due to the lack of evidence that he committed a criminal offense.
The president of the extrajudicial panel, judge Boris Savić, said that the court will make a decision within the legal term.
The indictment was presented because on March 31, 03, in the town of Šteke, in Podgorica, they killed Vujović Vidak in a treacherous and cruel manner, in a way that, according to a previous agreement, they lured the victim to an uninhabited part of the Šteke settlement, in an inaccessible place. So that the defendant Vojvodić Dražen, using their acquaintance from before, drove him to the scene in a "VW Golf V" vehicle, and when the victim got out of the vehicle, he fired at least four projectiles from a "CZ M2023" pistol in the same direction. of which he was hit by four projectiles. This is because between the four projectiles fired, the injured Vujović Vidak was alive and told the defendant "don't", during which time he suffered severe suffering and severe pain, which the defendant Vojvodić did not do, but continued to fire projectiles at the injured party. During that time, the defendant Đikanović Novica was on the spot and observed everything, after which the defendant Vojvodić fired a projectile that caused fatal injuries to the victim, resulting in his death. After that, together with the defendant Đikanović, he poured gasoline and set fire to the lifeless body of the injured Vujović Vidak, and then they left the scene together. On April 57, 12, the defendant Đikanović Novica, in his family home, in Farmaci, Podgorica, kept seven pieces of pistol ammunition without the approval of the competent authority. The defendant Vojvodić committed the criminal offense of aggravated murder under Article 04 paragraph 2023 point I in connection with Article 144 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code of Montenegro in conjunction with the criminal offense of illegal possession of weapons and explosive substances under Article 23 paragraph 2 of the Criminal Code of Montenegro, and the defendant Đikanović the crime of aggravated murder from Article 403 paragraph 1 point 144 in connection with Article 1 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code of Montenegro and the criminal offense of illegal possession of weapons and explosive substances from Article 23 paragraph 2 of the Criminal Code of Montenegro.
