The trial of the defendants for the murders of Nemanja Prelević (28) and Danil Peković (20) in Veruša on October 17, 2020, for which Marko Zekić and eight other persons were charged, was postponed today in the High Court in Podgorica.
The next hearings are scheduled for December 8 and 15.
The Special State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica previously filed an indictment against the eight-member criminal organization of the accused Marko Zekić, who is on the run.
In addition to Zekić, Miomir Đukić, Dragan Biletić, Vasilije Đukić, Mirčeta Mihailović, Nenad Miličić, Goran Milašinović, Branislav Ivanović and Dragan Tarić are also accused. According to the collected evidence, Marko Zekić, Đukić and Mihailović killed Prelević and Peković together on October 17, 2020, in the town of Uvač, with premeditation and prior agreement.
Milašinović, Biletić, Ivanović and Miličić assisted in the serious murder of two Podgorica residents by deliberately creating conditions and removing obstacles. The task of part of the group was to monitor the movement of Prelević and Peković in order to determine the most favorable place and time for their liquidation.
"After they found out that the targets would be in Prelević's house in the town of Uvač on October 17, they communicated that information to Zekić, Đukić and Mirčeta Mihailović, who went to Veruša," the indictment reads.
It is added that Mirčeta Mihailović handed over an automatic rifle and a pistol to Zekić and Đukić, who, after a brief discussion at the door of the cottage, killed Prelević by firing several projectiles into his head and upper body. After killing Prelević, they entered the cottage and killed Peković.
Transcripts of the Sky application used by members of this criminal organization revealed that the murder of Prelevic and Pekovic was planned several months earlier.
Zekić managed the organization of the liquidation in this case.
Sky communications also discovered that Milašinović had a connection in the police through which he revealed to the group the investigators' findings related to the investigation into the murder of Prelević and Peković and the traces found. After the murder of Prelević and Peković, Zekić announced to the group via the encrypted Sky application a plan to extort a person from Beran, from whom he planned to take 100.000 euros to cover the costs of the liquidation of two Podgorica residents on Veruša.
Marko Zekić from Beran had a physical confrontation with Nemanja Prelević in a bar in Podgorica, after which he made the decision to kill him, so he informed the other members of the criminal organization he founded, among other things, according to the indictment.
In the explanation of the indictment, it is written that, according to evidence from France, Zekić informed the other defendants about the conflict he had in a Podgorica bar, through the Sky application, and told them that he had made the decision to kill Prelevic.
"From further communications from August 05.08.2020, XNUMX, Zekić announces that he made the decision to take the life of Nemanja Prelevic precisely because of the fight he had with him and with Vladimir Bajčeta and Marinka Banović in the restaurant. In those messages, Zekić states that he is with had a gun that he had left and at the same time inquires with other defendants where Prelevic lives, what vehicle he drives, and where his house is located, i.e. what is the street where the victim's house is located," the indictment explains.
