Due to the absence of a council member due to illness, the hearing of the main trial in the case against the defendants Dražen Vojvodić and Novica Đikanović was postponed today due to the existence of reasonable suspicion that they committed the criminal offense of aggravated murder of Vidak Vujović, in connection with the illegal possession of weapons and explosive substances.
The President of the Council of Judges Veljko Radovanović handed a copy of the decision of the Supreme State Prosecutor of Montenegro to lawyer Damir Lekić, in which it is stated that his request for the exemption of the head of the Higher State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica, Lepa Medenica, was rejected.
Lawyer Lekić told the judge that the practice of the State Prosecutor's Office is illegal and bad because he, as the applicant for exemption, was not provided with a decision.
"Again, as in the case when I submitted a request for the disqualification of the acting state prosecutor, it was repeated that to me, as the defense attorney who submitted the request for disqualification, the decision on that request by the state prosecutor's office was not delivered until the hearing of the main trial, and that such action with several aspects are completely illegal and that the defense puts the defense in an unfavorable position. The defense has the right to receive a written copy of that decision in the original. This action of the state prosecutor's office is completely worrisome, and one can get the impression that it is acting this way not by accident, about which he will give more words at the next hearing of the main trial", said lawyer Lekić.
The indictment stated that on March 31 of last year, in Šteke, Podgorica, the defendants killed Vidak Vujović in a treacherous and cruel manner, as per a prior agreement, they lured the victim to an uninhabited part of the Šteke settlement, to 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 M57" 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 12, 04, the defendant Đikanović Novica, in his family home, in Farmaci, Podgorica, kept seven pieces of pistol ammunition without the approval of the competent authority.
