Stefan Ilic's parents will go to jail if it turns out that his brother killed him?
- A variety of things are possible. And Stefan may have drowned when swimming in the river, but it is also possible that Uros pushed him in or hit him. The final answer will be given by the investigation - said a source from investigation
However, it turned out that his younger brother lied the entire time, and fabricated the story of the kidnapping and the kidnappers. Further investigation will show how Stefan turned up dead, whether he drowned or was possibly killed.

The autopsy showed that the death of Stefan Ilic was caused by drowning and that his body had no injuries to suggest a violent death, except for a bruise on his back whose origin can not be identified.
A forensic specialist says that it is difficult to determine whether someone drowned in an accident or was drowned after being pushed into the water.
Uros Ilic's statement about his brother's kidnapping was very suspicious to the police since the very beginning.
- To experienced inspectors who worked on this case, it was clear that Uros was lying and trying to hide something terrible. Still, he kept to his story about the kidnapping until his brother's corpse was found - says one policeman for "Informer".
He described the kidnappers in detail and the abduction itself making the investigation a lot harder.
- Uros, unlike other members of the family Ilic, is an extremely intelligent boy. Police psychologists say that he is very manipulative and that, although he is only nine years old, he is the real boss of the family. During police interrogations, he corrected his father, mother and sister on several occasions and it was obvious that he was the highest authority in the family - says a source close to the investigation.

Uros invented the black "fiat" with KO (Kovin) licence plates, that, according to his story, Stefan was pushed in.
- On Sunday afternoon in the vicinity of Vrsac, a black "punto" was stopped, with a man who almost fully fit Uroš' description. He had a tattoo on his arm of a dragon, and in the rear seat wagon, sat a boy who strangely resembled the unfortunate Stefan. The innocent man was almost arrested. He was held until it was confirmed that the child in the back seat was his son and that he had a solid alibi for the time of Stefan's disappearance - says a police source.
The police say that for now it is not clear why Uros lied to inspectors, and whether his parents and other family members knew the truth.
- A variety of things are possible. And Stefan may have drowned when swimming in the river, but it is also possible that Uros pushed him in or hit him. The final answer will be given by the investigation. In any case, this case will go down in the history of criminology. In this case, a nine year old boy is a suspect, who, by law, can not be held responsible - said a source in the investigation.
If it is found that Uros Ilic is responsible for his brother's death, he can not be held criminally responsible. Criminal responsibility will be borne by his parents Stevo Gages (45) and Gordana Ilic (42).
- By all accounts, these martyrs knew nothing. Looks like they were manipulated by nine year old Uros - says the policeman.
