– My husband fired a bullet with a pistol around 7pm, for fun. Then he put it on the window, but soon he wanted to remove the gun from there because of the children. When he took it in his hand, he fired. The bullet went through the refrigerator, which was on the patio, and hit Dejan, who was sitting at a table behind the refrigerator, in the back of the head.

Ljubica says there were 15 guests at the celebration and they all came together to help Dejan.

– His cousin poured water on him, they raised their heads and his eye moved. They say he was breathing then – says the woman crying, commenting that happiness and joy instantly turned into screams, pain and tears.

She explains that her husband Milenko put the injured Dejan in the car and took him to the doctor in Pećince, for which he returned home.

– He was crying, he left Dejan alive. He repeated: “What did I do!” It is very difficult for him – says Ljubica.

According to her, Milenko himself called the police and told them what had happened, that is, he explained “that he himself does not know how he fired the weapon.”

“Lack of care or fate destroyed two families,” he added.

He adored him

The family of the murdered also cried yesterday.

– I can’t believe it, I was left without a son who didn’t even step on an ant, and again, he was killed by a man who Dejan loved very much – says the inconsolable father Stevan and adds: – Dejan adored Milenko and her children. I don’t know what happened exactly, I wasn’t there, but whatever it is, Milenko will get out of jail and my son won’t get out of the grave. I don’t know why he needed that gun at all, and I heard he has it and has been hiding it for 10 years – says the shocked father.
