Higher Court in Negotin Confirms Indictment Against Two Suspects in the Murder of Two-Year-Old Danka Ilic

The decision confirming the indictment will be sent to the defendants and their defense attorneys, who have three days to file an appeal with the Court of Appeal in Nis, the Higher Court in Negotin stated.

Under the indictment, which was filed following a supplementary investigation, Dragijevic and Jankovic are charged with the criminal offense of aggravated murder committed as co-perpetrators, while Radoslav Dragijevic is charged with failure to report a criminal offense and assisting the perpetrator after the commission of a crime.

The supplementary investigation was conducted on the order of the Court of Appeal in Nis, after it twice returned the decision confirming the indictment to the Higher Court in Zajecar. On the second occasion, it ordered that the decision be made by an entirely new judicial panel of the Higher Court in Negotin.

Prosecution Seeks Life Imprisonment

In the indictment, the prosecution proposed that the court sentence Dejan Dragijevic and Srđan Jankovic to life imprisonment.

They are suspected of first hitting the two-year-old girl with a vehicle belonging to the public utility company “Vodovod,” where they were employed, and then placing her into the vehicle.

They allegedly disposed of her body at a landfill, from where it was later moved. The girl’s body has never been found.

Radoslav Dragijevic is suspected of helping his son, Dejan Dragijevic, move the girl’s body.

Dejan Dragijevic’s brother, Dalibor Dragijevic, died on April 7, 2024, while in custody at the Police Department in Bor.
