The trial regarding the murder of two-year-old Danke Ilić has commenced. During a closed preparatory hearing, parties are presenting opening statements to establish a date for the main trial.

Defendants Dejan Dragijević and Srđan Janković face charges of aggravated murder in complicity. The indictment alleges that on March 26, 2024, in Banjsko Polje, the defendants used a vehicle from the public utility company ‘Vodovod’ to strike the child and subsequently placed her inside. It is suspected the body was moved to a landfill, though the body has not yet been located.

The prosecution is seeking life imprisonment for both individuals. While legal proceedings against Radoslav Dragijević remain suspended by court order, it has been noted that Dejan Dragijević’s brother, Dalibor Dragijević, died in police custody in Bor on April 7, 2024.
