Tonight, the High Court of Novi Sad, at the proposal of the prosecution, ordered the detention of up to 30 days against OL and LV, suspected of participating in the brutal beating of MM (28) on Jevrejska street in Novi Sad on August 24.
They were previously questioned at the Novi Sad Superior Prosecutor’s Office, after which the prosecution proposed that they remain in preventive detention so as not to influence the witnesses and not to repeat the crime in a short time.
The court adopted this proposal and ordered his arrest, the Novi Sad High Prosecutor’s Office told Tanjug.
One of the accused is charged with the crime of participating in a fight and the other with assisting the perpetrator after the crime was committed, while the main suspect, Ivan Kontić (30), who is currently at large, is charged with attempted assassination of MM.
Kontic is under investigation for the crime of attempted murder.
Since he is a fugitive, an international arrest warrant has been issued against him, MUP officials announced today.
Novi Sad police announced on Saturday that Kontić is suspected of hitting the 28-year-old man several times in the head and body area, as a result of which he lost consciousness, and then broke both forearms.
The case attracted much public attention after a video was posted on social media late last week, showing the brutal beating of a young man who was punched in the head with all his might and then his arms were broken as he lay unconscious.
Kontić graduated as a lawyer and is now an intern at the Novi Sad law firm.
