Shoe prints found at the scene where Nemanja Prelević (28) and Danilo Peković (20) were killed in Veruša do not match the shoes seized from the defendants and do not match the prints from the scene.
This was stated by an expert witness at the trial in the Higher Court in Podgorica today.
He explained that the treads that were recovered from the scene were compared with the defendants' footwear and there was no match.
The trial of the defendants for the murders of Prelević and Peković in Veruša on October 17, 2020, for which Marko Zekić and eight other people are accused, continued today at the Higher Court in Podgorica, with the presentation of written evidence.
Official records were read and video recordings from various facilities related to the event in Berane were viewed. These were video recordings that were seized from the gas station, private homes, 'Rudi komerc doo', and the 'Lukas' hotel.
The defense had no objections to this evidence. The defendants' defense attorney, attorney Stefan Jovanović, reiterated the position previously expressed at one of the previous hearings of the main trial, that the defendants were located kilometers away from the place where the indictment claims they shot, near the General Hospital in Berane.
According to the indictment, on November 18, 2021, at around 22 p.m. near the General Hospital in Berane, Marko Zekić, from a vehicle driven by Miomir Đukić, shot at the Sujković brothers Ismet and Kenan and Mirza Kastrata, who were in a Passat vehicle at the time.
The Special State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica 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 evidence collected, on October 17, 2020, Marko Zekić, Vasilije Đukić, and Mihailović together killed Prelević and Peković in the town of Uvač, with intent and by 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 app used by members of this criminal organization revealed that the murder of Prelević and Peković had been planned several months in advance. Marko Zekić from Berane physically clashed with Nemanja Prelević in a pub in Podgorica, after which he decided to kill him, and informed other members of the criminal organization he founded about it, the indictment states, among other things.
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.
