At the trial of the Kecmanovićs, experts were examined about the mental state of the injured parties
In the High Court in Belgrade today, with the questioning of experts, the civil proceedings against the father, mother and boy who killed nine peers and a school guard on May 3, 2023 in the elementary school "Vladislav Ribnikar" continued.
This proceeding against Kecmanović was initiated following a lawsuit filed by the Dukić family, whose daughter was murdered.
At today's trial, forensic psychiatry expert Milena Stanković and psychology expert Ana Najman were examined.
On the other hand, Dragana Tomić, head of the class VII2, where the shooting took place, did not come to the trial again, but submitted medical documentation to the court, as before, i.e. a doctor's report according to which she cannot attend the trial.
However, the court sentenced her to a fine of 30,000 dinars.
Stanković, who was an expert on the mental state of the Dukić family, i.e. the parents of the murdered girl and her brother and sister, stated today that Biljana Paunović, the mother of the girl, first suffered fear of moderate intensity, until she received the information that her daughter was killed, when she suffered fear of high intensity, panic, despair and terror.
For Dane Dukić, the girl's father, Stanković said that on that day he felt fear of high intensity, as well as a sense of despair and complete helplessness.
Stanković stated that the whole family's general life activities were reduced by 40 percent due to the tragedy.
After the experts in the proceedings, the parties in the proceedings declared which evidence they would retain and which they would withdraw, so the proposal to interrogate the Kecmanovićs was rejected, given that their defense counsel stated that they would not testify in this proceeding.
Marina Ivelja, the defense attorney of the defendants Kecmanović, objected to the expert testimony of the juvenile perpetrator of the murder K.K., and stated that she would send the objections in writing to the experts.
She stated that many things were not clarified by the expert examination, as well as that the boy's expert examination was non-objective, unprofessional and biased.
Both the defendant and the prosecutors agreed to watch the video of the shooting from the school, as well as to examine the classroom.
Snežana Dunjić, the representative of the Dukić family, specified the lawsuit in relation to the fifth defendant, the state of Serbia, namely that the fifth defendant is Serbia - the Ministry of Education, and the sixth defendant is Serbia - the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The next trial is scheduled for June 5, when head of the class VII2 Dragana Tomić was summoned again with a decision on punishment.
This proceeding was initiated against Miljana and Vladimir Kecmanović, their son, as well as against the school and the state, and following a lawsuit by members of the Dukić family, whose daughter was killed at the time.
The court will decide on this claim only after the end of the civil proceedings, and make a decision whether it fully or partially accepts the claim of the family, or possibly rejects it.
The lawsuit was filed in civil proceedings for non-material damage compensation for mental pain suffered due to the death of a close person, as well as for the fear suffered.
In addition to this, there are three other civil proceedings.
At the end of last year, the High Court issued a first-instance verdict in the criminal proceedings, by which Vladimir Kecmanović was sentenced to 14 and a half years in prison, Miljana Kecmanović to three years in prison, and Nemanja Marinković, the instructor at the shooting range where the minor practiced shooting, to 15 months in prison.
Vladimir and Miljana Kecmanović were convicted of the criminal offense of neglecting and abusing a child, while Vladimir Kecmanović was also convicted of the criminal offense of serious offense against public safety.
In addition to the criminal case, a civil case against Kecmanović was also completed, following a lawsuit filed by 27 family members of the murdered.
Minor K.K. is criminally irresponsible because he was not 14 years old at the time of the massacre.
