The review of the indictment against the defendants for the murders of Petar Lipovina and Žarko Pejaković was postponed today at the Higher Court in Podgorica.
The next hearing is scheduled for July 22nd, said the president of the pre-trial chamber, Judge Zoran Radović.
The reason for the postponement of the hearing is the request of the defense attorneys to receive copies of the case file on CD, in order to prepare the defense.
Attorney Vaso Bečanović did not attend the hearing, as there was no evidence that he had received the court's summons.
Attorney Branko Anđelić told the court that he submitted the request for copying on May 19th, and that his associate only took possession of the CD yesterday.
On November 6, 2024, masked attackers fired more than 30 bullets from automatic weapons into the vehicle carrying Lipovina and Pejaković in Podgorica.
The prosecution suspects Vuk Lalatović (25) from Nikšić and Artur Cimerman (28) from Belgrade as the direct perpetrators, for whom the police are searching. In addition to Lalatović and Cimerman, who was previously called Nikola, the police are also searching for Lazar Lazić (31) from Belgrade.
Sava Kaluđerović (21), Aleksandar Dacić (23), Miljan Marijanović (23), Nikoleta Uskoković (20) and a Danish citizen residing in Andrijevica, Tomi Ra Frost (41), were arrested for the double murder.
The Higher State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica previously announced that an indictment had been filed following an investigation. As they stated, the indictment was filed against VL, ASC and LL for the criminal offenses of aggravated murder and illegal possession and carrying of weapons and explosives.
"An indictment has been filed against SK, AD, MM, NU, and TF for the criminal offenses of aggravated murder by aiding and abetting and unlawful possession and carrying of weapons and explosives by aiding," the statement said at the time.
