Jabukovac shooter confesses to nine murders

Reports say he did not further explain his claim.

Shortly after MUP’s special and regular police located and detained him in a village cemetery Friday night, Radosavljević, who suffered self-inflicted injuries, communicated only with tending doctors, however, he gave his statement yesterday to an investigating judge.

Radosavljević told the judge he killed nine and wounded two other villagers.

A doctor at Belgrade’s Laza Lazarević mental health clinic told B92 Radosavljević was treated there last year, after an incident in a bus while he was returning from Austria, where he was a guest worker.

“The early diagnosis was acute paranoid psychosis. He was brought in by the police in an agitated state and he was aggressive. We had no proof there was physical aggression involved as well, while a colleague of mine recorded he had manic ideas about black magic,” Doctor Dragiša Ranđelović said.

A day later, he was released after a request filed by his wife and brother, who promised he would continue treatment in Austria.

While Ranđelović claims Radosavljević was hardly a patient of the clinic since he only spent one day there, Zlatko Nikolić of the Institute for Criminal Research says the doctors still had an obligation to notify the authorities.

“Mistakes were made if they [the clinic] failed to find out if there were any weapons involved. In that case, they had to report in to the MUP. However, this would have happened with or without that rifle,” Nikolić believes.

Jabukovac locals say they knew Radosavljević underwent psychiatric treatment in Belgrade and Vienna, that he physically assaulted his wife and had conflicts with the police.

Beta reported earlier that the decision to detain Radosavljević, currently recovering in a Niš hospital, was made by Negotin Judge Dragica Singurilović Tuesday.

A court-appointed lawyer will be taking on as Radosavljević’s defense attorney, the agency learned.

Radosavljević is a suspect in the bloodiest mass murder in Serbia’s peacetime history, when 9 passers-by were gunned down last Friday in the eastern Serbian village of Jubukovac, near Negotin.
