Sokolac court confirms indictment for domestic violence and vehicular assault

The Basic Court in Sokolac has confirmed an indictment against E. T. for domestic violence involving death threats and an attempted vehicular assault against his former partner in Istočna Ilidža.

According to the indictment, the first incident occurred on August 1, 2026, at Ilidžanska Brigade Square. E. T. allegedly intercepted the woman with a Mercedes, blocking her path and issuing threats, including statements that he would kill her or that she would die and lose her child. He further claimed that moving to a new address or seeking police protection would not prevent her harm.

Three days later, on August 4, 2026, the defendant allegedly attempted to strike the woman with his vehicle at the same location. The victim avoided direct impact by quickly moving aside. The prosecution noted that E. T. was already under active court-ordered protection measures prohibiting him from approaching or communicating with the victim at the time of these incidents. The defendant faces a potential fine or up to three years in prison.
