Murder in Bačina: Goran’s Heartbreaking Tragedy of Poverty and Neglect!
In the small village of Bačina, a real-life drama unfolded that could be straight out of a movie — but sadly, without a happy ending. Goran S. (53) was brutally killed when his neighbor S. R. (76) ran him over with a car after a fierce argument. But this story is not just about murder; it’s about a life filled with poverty, loss, and abandonment.
Goran’s Life – A Struggle Against Fate
Goran had two sons. His older son died nearly five years ago, found lifeless somewhere on the road. No one could properly care for his younger son, so the very man accused of killing Goran took on the responsibility. The boy was often hungry, and Goran couldn’t provide even the basic necessities. Neighbors say Goran was a man of his own hands but became aggressive when drunk. He was often seen drunk outside stores, ready for fights.
A Troubled Past and Legal Issues
Goran had recently been released from prison, where he served time for theft. He had debts, and neighbors say he barely managed to survive. Often, he had no food, and he drank to forget his troubles. His wife had long remarried, leaving him alone with problems and a son he struggled to care for.
The Murder That Shook the Village
Everything happened after a heated argument between Goran and his neighbor S. R. At one point, S. R. got into a car and deliberately ran over Goran, killing him instantly. The motive is still unknown, and the investigation is being conducted by the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Kruševac. The villagers are in shock, and the poor boy is left without both parents and anyone to care for him.
What Does This Tragedy Tell Us?
This story is more than just a murder. It’s about people society forgets. About poverty that swallows families whole. About people with nowhere to turn for help. Goran’s fate is a warning to all of us — how important it is to care for each other and not turn a blind eye to problems in our communities.
If you think this is just another crime story, think again. This is a life that could have been different. Maybe your neighbor or friend will be in a similar situation one day.
