# Serbian homicide investigations > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/serbian-homicide-investigations > Updated: 2026-07-26T18:59:17.000Z. Sources: 7. Developments: 2. Serbian authorities are dealing with a series of high‑profile homicide cases that have drawn public attention to investigative practices and domestic violence. An earlier snapshot detailed the controversial handling of two separate murders—a 2022 restaurant shooting of Aleksandar Nešović and a 2005 locked‑room stabbing of Aleksandar Vujanović—highlighting alleged procedural irregularities involving police chiefs, prosecutors and the justice minister. A week later, attention shifted to a recent domestic homicide in the village of Gornjane, where a woman was beaten to death by her partner, and to the ongoing incarceration of Stejsi Kastor, the convicted “Black Widow” who murdered two husbands and faced additional charges. Both reports underscore ongoing police investigations, media scrutiny and public concern over violent crimes within Serbia. Most recently, on 26 July 2026, police in the village of Gornjane near Bor confirmed that engineer Vladimir S. stabbed his partner Maja P. to death before taking his own life in the family’s barn. Neighbours said the couple had been together for about a year without prior signs of violence; a panic call from Maja was captured before the killing, and video surveillance recorded the attack, which was inadvertently watched by Vladimir’s brother. The case adds to the sequence of domestic murders prompting calls for better protection and investigative transparency. ## Claims - Vladimir S. stabbed his partner Maja P. to death in the courtyard of their family home in Gornjane near Bor on a Sunday around 18:00.
