Investigation launched into death of Kristian Josip Periš in Zagreb

The family of 32-year-old Kristian Josip Periš has reported a secondary tragedy after his fiancée lost her pregnancy several days after his death. Periš died at the Sveti Ivan psychiatric clinic in Jankomir, Zagreb.

Family members have filed a criminal complaint with the state attorney, requesting an inspection by the Ministry of Health and the preservation of all video surveillance from the hospital. They allege that Periš showed no aggressive behavior toward paramedics or police prior to his admission. The family reported seeing injuries, specifically on his neck, which led to suspicions of a violent death. They also claim Periš had previously experienced physical violence and choking at the same facility seven years ago.

Four medical technicians are currently suspected of involvement in a serious murder investigation. The circumstances regarding whether there is a causal link between Periš's death and his fiancée's miscarriage remain unknown.
