Members of 'Avengers' formation from Visegrad, alongside already convicted Nebojsa Radisavljevic, were under the command of Milan Lukic and under the ranks of Republika Srpska army. They have been accused of maltreating, physically injuring and helping the killing of non-Serbian civilians.

At the Strpce train station, around 3:30 pm, Milan Lukic held up the JZ 671 train which was traveling from Belgrade to Bar. After the train stopped, the suspects surrounded  it with weapons and hand grenades in their hands. Several members of the unit entered the train and legitimated the passengers, marking 20 of them as non-Serbians.

After they transported them to the elementary school in Prelovo, they forced them to the school's gym by hitting them with hands,guns and by kicking them. After that they went on with the beatings inside the gym. When they took their money and other values, the accused made them strip to their underwear.Under extremely cold weather, barefeet, hands tied by wire, the accused beat them again, inflicting the injuries all over the body. Eventually,they were put back on the truck by which they came.

In the outskirts of Music village they were transported in groups to the burnt-down house. Here Milan Lukic and Boban Indjic, after they commanded the civilians to lie down, killed them in groups by shooting them in the head. The accused Gojko Lukic, Dusko Vasiljevic, Ljubisa Vasiljevic, Jovan Lipovac and Dragana Djekic gave the essential contribution by transporting the civilians from Prelovo to Musica, and by guarding them all along.

In 2010, in the lake Perucac area, the remains of some of the civilians were found.
