The defendants in the double murder in Verusa could be released if there is no verdict by mid-May.

If the High Court does not issue a verdict by mid-May, the defendants in the double murder in Veruša, Podgorica residents Nemanja Prelević and Danilo Peković, could be released, as the three-year maximum period they can be in custody will expire at that time.

Television Vijesti has learned that the court plans to conclude the proceedings and issue a verdict before that deadline.

On the other hand, although the court has scheduled 40 hearings in the case against Vesna Medenica and her son Miloš, it is unlikely that this will lead to a verdict until October, when Medenica will be released from custody, due to the expiration of the three-year term.
