Grahovac committed the crime on the night between August 31 and September 1, 2019, at Tatarovska’s apartment on Zoran Djindjic Boulevard in Nis, beating the unfortunate old woman with fists, a hammer, and stabbing her with a knife with 36 stab wounds. . He then took 760 euros from him and fled on the first bus to Bograd, where the Nis police found him and detained him within days of discovering him on the building’s security cameras. Namely, Grahovac lived there as a student and knew the old woman well, which allowed her to open the door and let him into the apartment.

At today’s hearing, prosecutor Andija Igić requested a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison for Grahovac.

– The Prosecutor’s Office requests a maximum penalty of 40 years in prison, which was prescribed for that crime at the time of committing the crime on August 31, 2019. Considering that there are no mitigating circumstances for Grahovac, since he killed Jelica, who lived alone in the apartment, in a cruel way, and that the only reason for it was greed. This is indicated by his behavior the day before and after the murder, when he planned everything well, down to the last detail. He came to Nis where he studied because he knew the Christmas tree, knew its customs and took a hammer and a knife. He knew how to present himself to open the door and killed him with more than 36 stab wounds. It all lasted at least 15 minutes, and the severe suffering he suffered and the amount of injuries and intensity of the suffering he suffered indicate his cruelty. He did everything professionally. He went in and out of his apartment several times, took out the evidence, changed his clothes, and then bought a ticket and went to Belgrade to a rented apartment, which he also prepared in advance. Unfortunately, she let him into the apartment because she knew him, prosecutor Igić noted in his closing remarks.

After the incident at the Nis Courthouse on February 12, when he tried to jump out the window, Grahovac was sent to the Belgrade prison hospital for a psychiatric examination. Finding
The experts are catastrophic for him because they determined that there were traces of self-harm, but that he did not intend to commit suicide, only to get attention.

– The prison hospital commanders threatened me, so I had to give such a statement. They told me that they would tie me up and let me go with the madmen – said Grahovac, but he could not say which commander threatened him.

The verdict is expected at the next hearing scheduled for April 2.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

As a skilled manipulator, Grahovac tried by all means to reduce his sentence.

– With the request for a 40-year sentence, they sentenced me to death – Grahovac turned to the prosecutor and added that he is actually a victim of his life because he has HIV and that way he will never get out of jail alive where he was. he will surely die from such a long sentence.
