Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Zaječar

It charged two workers of the public utility company Vodovod with the murder of a girl from Banjsko Polje. According to an analysis by the daily Danas, the case rested on confessions the men later withdrew, saying they had been beaten out of them, and there was no material evidence. The Court of Appeal twice overturned the confirmation of the indictment, and proceedings against the father of one of the accused were dropped for lack of evidence. It handed the investigation into the death of a man held in custody in Bor to another prosecutor's office, even though, according to Radar, it knew on the very day of the autopsy that the death was violent.
