Dacic confirmed: The motive for the double murder near Majdanpek was a dispute over the burning of plants

Minister of the Interior Ivica Dačić stated that the motive for the double murder in the village of Topolnica near Majdanpek, which happened on July 15, was that a married couple, RJ (69) and RJ (68), and a man (89) who shot at they quarreled over the burning of plants.

Dacic noted that the attacker repeatedly set fire to vegetation and caused fires.

"It is a dispute that arose due to the burning of vegetation, that is, the possibility of setting fire to the forest in that part where the married couple had their properties. Locals constantly accused that person, who was shooting, of constantly setting fire to vegetation and causing fires," said Dacic, as reported by the 021.rs portal.

Special forces were necessary

He said that the double murder happened when the married couple went to see what the situation was, since the fire had already broken out at that time, and added that the married couple was on the tractor, and that the killer shot with a hunting rifle.

Dacic stated that he did not yet have information on whether the man who shot had a license to hold a rifle and added that it was assumed, bearing in mind that he was an elderly man, that it would be possible to resolve this with the local police forces.

"However, it has now come to the point that two people have been killed." Let me remind you, the married couple remained lying on the tractor after the shooting. There were two other people behind that couple, one person was also wounded, and the fourth person ran away and informed about the incident. Since the scene is far from the village, a lot of time has passed and it was necessary to engage special forces. "The special terrorist unit reacted because there was still shooting, it was not known how it would all end," said Dacic.

With a rifle in his hands in front of the police

As he pointed out, the man who shot was in his house and did not want to surrender after several hours of talks and negotiations. Despite attempts to negotiate and throw tear gas and shock bombs, the killer did not want to surrender, but confronted the police with a rifle in hand.

Dacic stated that the police had to react in accordance with the law, and that the members of the Special Anti-Terrorist Unit (SAJ) killed the killer.

In addition to the killed married couple, NM (59) was injured in the shooting, who was treated for gunshot wounds at the Health Center in Donji Milanovac and is out of danger.
