The lifeless body of Dušan Jovanović (60) from Bačka Palanka, who disappeared on Tuesday, was found in the Danube near the Polojska forest, his son Srdjan confirmed.

– I found out about his death an hour ago. He was tragically murdered – said Srdjan Jovanovic.

According to local media, around 12 noon today, the Bačka Palanka police station was informed that a body had been found floating near the Polojska forest.

While fishing, the fisherman noticed the body and reported everything to the police.

Victim Dušan’s son, Srdjan, previously said that his father left the house on Tuesday, December 22, around 8:30 to pay the electricity bill.

– I expected him to come home around 12 o’clock, however, he was not there. I called him, but his phone was not available, almost since he left the house. It took him around 14 hours to get to work. I called him at work thinking he might have gone there, but he didn’t show up there either, Srdjan Jovanovic said previously.

He mentioned that they have been searching for Dušan ever since.

– As soon as I found out that he was not even coming to work, I immediately called the ambulance, the police, my family, all my friends. I checked to see if they had seen him in the banks because he was going to pay the bill. Apparently they did not see it, nor did it appear in Elektrodistribucija. It has never happened before that the son mentioned above disappeared.
