Božidar Dimitrijević (55) and his blind wife Ivana (41) died in a fire that broke out at dawn yesterday at their family’s house on Sava Kovačević Street in Inđija. The unhappy couple probably suffocated in their sleep from the smoke, because their bodies were found on the bed in the bedroom.
The investigation will determine exactly what started the fire, but poor gas installations in the home likely contributed to that, writes “Informer.”
Bodies at autopsy
According to unofficial information, residents of Sava Kovačević Street called the fire brigade and the police shortly before five in the morning after seeing smoke rising from the house of the Dimitrijević couple.
– Thanks to the firefighters arriving quickly, the fire did not affect the entire house, so the nearby facilities were not in danger. At that time, the fire engulfed only parts of the furniture and furnishings. When the fire was located, firefighters found two bodies in the bedroom. The flames did not affect the bodies of Božidar and Ivana, indicating that they suffocated from the smoke, most likely while they slept, says an investigation source.
According to him, the bodies were brought in for an autopsy, and the investigation determined that it was an accident and that the fire was not started.
Dimitrijevic’s neighbors say that Bozidar and Ivana lived alone and that he took care of her because she was almost completely blind.
– Until a few years ago he worked as a janitor in a private company, and left his job to dedicate himself completely to his blind wife. He did not part with her … Ivana worked as an operator in the municipality, and Božidar took her to work and brought her home. He helped her eat, walked with her … – says the neighbor.
He adds that Bozidar, however, has had mental problems in recent months.
Problemi sa bratom
– He let go of his beard and hair, he was messy … Three nights before the tragedy, he ran barefoot down the street and asked for help. Some boys ran to help him, but Božidar did not know how to tell them what he was running from and what had happened to him. They took him home where Ivana was waiting for him. He was surprised when he heard what Bozidar did, the neighbor notes.
Božidar’s friend also said that the victim Dimitrijević had family problems due to his property.
– He was in a very bad relationship with his brother. They even tried something in the house where Božidar lives. I know that my brother was trying insistently to evict him from that house, he wanted to demolish that part of the building where Božidar lived with Ivan. As far as I know, they have been on trial for several years, and Boža complained to me when he lost the dispute, says Božidar’s friend.
They used gas, but they also burned “smederevac”
Jovanka Bilaus, a neighbor of the victims, says that the Dimitrijevics used gas, but also occasionally lit a “Smederevo” wood stove.
– Maybe on the coldest nights they wanted to save some dinars on the gas bill, I don’t know … However, the fire must have broken out due to a failure in the gas installations, because I don’t think they asked for a stove that night, no It was cold … I know they didn’t even cook food, but bought ready meals – said Jovanka.
