The Belgrade police arrested D.S. (33) on suspicion that he yesterday smashed the head of his wife S.S. (27) using a piece of wood, having tied her nose and mouth so she could not call for help. The hearing of the suspect at the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade is expected tomorrow.

Neighbors of the couple who came from Bujanovac say that they were an "exemplary family."

"We heard that she was found dead. We saw the police, and the investigation lasted until this morning. We can't believe that D.S. killed her," say the neighbors of the murder suspect.

By order of the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade, the body was sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for an autopsy.

As Telegaraf.rs has learned, the couple's children will be placed in foster care.

It is suspected that the murder happened yesterday around 11 pm. An ambulance crew called to the scene found the woman with head injuries and informed the police.

During the investigation, D.S. was arrested and is now detained.
