"Today, at around 4:15 p.m., as the prosecutor on duty at the Higher State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica, I was informed by police officers from the Cetinje Security Department that two people were found in a vehicle in the town of Zabrđe, Cetinje Municipality, with no signs of life and it is assumed that they were killed by firearms. Immediately upon receiving the notification, I went to the scene to conduct an on-site investigation with officers from the Police Administration and with experts of the appropriate profession. All traces were removed from the scene and will be the subject of appropriate expert examinations. The bodies were sent for autopsy to the Clinical Center of Montenegro for pathology. All measures and actions are being taken to identify the perpetrators of this criminal offense in cooperation with the police and the prosecutor's office. That is all I can say at this moment so as not to undermine further investigation," prosecutor Ana Marinović told the media.

When asked by reporters whether Belada and Ivanovic were killed at the place where they were found, Marinovic replied that she could not say that for now.

Belada was the target of an attack in early September when assailants fired several shots at him from a motorcycle on the Cetinje-Budva highway in the town of Brajići. Belada was riding a motorcycle with Tamara Stanojević (24), who was seriously wounded in the attack.
