Police Director Dragan Vasiljevic (BETAPHOTO/Serbian Interior Ministry)
Dragan Vasiljevic, the head of Serbia’s General Police Directorate, said on May 18 that the police are intensively working on the so-called Senjak murder case – which has led to the arrest of Belgrade Police Chief Veselin Milic – and that “all resources have been employed toward potentially discovering the body” of the man killed at a restaurant in Belgrade’s Senjak neighborhood on May 12.
“In the past several days, we’ve been intensively searching the grounds, employing the resources of the Ministry of Internal Affairs General Police Directorate. As of this morning, members of the Army of Serbia have joined the search,” Vasiljevic told Prva TV.
According to the police director, “a large number of Gendarmerie, Special Antiterrorist Unit, Army of Serbia and Criminal Police Directorate members are engaged in searching the grounds, waterways and lakes surrounding Belgrade.”
“In the past days, many new pieces of evidence and leads have been uncovered. The vehicle we believe the arrested suspects used has been found. Inside, a lot of material evidence was discovered: surgical gloves, bottles of hydrochloric acid, the hood that does not belong to the vehicle and, as we suspect, is stained with blood. We’re running biological and all other kinds of tests,” Vasiljevic stated.
By now former Belgrade police chief Veselin Miletic was arrested on May 15 due to his ties to the disappearance of Aleksandar ‘Baja’ Nesovic, an alleged member of Dejan ‘Keka’ Stojanovic’s criminal group, who is believed to have been murdered in Senjak on May 12.
