The Novo mesto court mandated the custody of Šiljić in December, following multiple testimonies solidifying his role as the perpetrator of the fatal attack on Šutar in Novi most last October. This incident resulted in Šutar’s death. Initially, Šiljić’s 21-year-old cousin was held in detention related to the crime.
However, on December 12th, the court reversed this decision, concluding that the probability of Šiljić’s involvement was greater than that of his cousin. The prosecution subsequently presented an indictment against the suspect. Following this indictment, the court continued Šiljić’s detention, extending it monthly until further notice.
The court is now undertaking a thorough review of his detention for a minimum period of three months. Throughout this time, the court will meticulously examine the circumstances surrounding the attack. The initial detention was lifted, but the court’s assessment prioritized the evidence pointing towards Šiljić’s culpability.
