Montenegrin charged with 1990 New York murder
Tulja was wanted in the slaying of Mary Beal, a 61-year-old Yugoslav immigrant who was reported missing in New York on September 15, 1990.Three weeks later, her decapitated, dismembered body was found in two bags near the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
After he was arrested in Montenegro, the authorities launched an investigation into the allegations, promising to try him in Montenegro as the country's laws do not permit extradition of its citizens.
Tulja was also investigated in connection with the murder of five women in Belgium and at least one woman in Albania.
But authorities eventually charged him only with the murder of Mary Beal, said his lawyer Dragoljub Đukanović.
There was no immediate confirmation from the Montenegrin prosecutor. It was not immediately clear when the trial would start.
The investigation into Beal's killing regained momentum last year after a member of the New York Police Department's Cold Case and Apprehension Squad learned about the dismemberment of two women in Albania.
Tulja, who was working as a cab driver in New York in 1990, met Beal in a courthouse where she was an interpreter, according to U.S. officers.
The two began dating but clashed over money, police have said. After Beal's killing, detectives discovered bloodstains in Tulja's apartment in the Bronx, but he left the country before they could question him.
Tulja, who was born in Montenegro, resettled here in the late 1990s and lived alone on the outskirts of Podgorica, officials said.
