The reason are additional questions that the prosecutor has.

Srdjan Jankovic was previously questioned in early June when he denied guilt as he spoke for the first time since his arrest. Previously, he used his legal right to remain silent.

"The questioning of Srdjan Jankovic is scheduled for June 19, 2024, at 10 am," VJT Zajecar told our portal.

The second defendant, Dejan Dragijevic, confessed to the murder.

The two are in custody, while Dejana Dragijevic's father, who is suspected of helping his son move the girl's body, was recently released, because persons suspected of assisting the perpetrator after the commission of the crime cannot be held for longer than two months.

Danka Ilic disappeared on March 26 in Banjsko Polje near the town of Bor.

After a 10-day search and detailed checks of all the clues and information, the police arrested S.J. and D.D. from Bor, who are suspected of hitting the girl with their company car, then putting her in the trunk, strangling her, and leaving the body at a garbage dump.

The girl's body has not yet been found.
