Killer from Lazarevac: Former Kickboxer or Cold-Blooded Monster?
Slobodan M., a 28-year-old former kickboxer from Lazarevac, has been arrested on suspicion of brutally killing Zoran L. (70), dismembering his body, packing it into sacks, and dumping it into the Kolubara River. To make matters worse, Slobodan was previously convicted for a fatal traffic accident that claimed the life of a woman.
From Sports Hero to Criminal
Slobodan was once known as a talented kickboxer with notable performances both domestically and abroad. He achieved a major victory at a tournament in Italy before retiring from professional sports to focus on coaching at a local club. He was described as a polite, cultured young man who was never problematic. However, after starting to work with Zoran L., he completely changed — becoming withdrawn and nervous.
A Horrific Tragedy and Mystery
According to sources, on June 20 this year, Slobodan killed Zoran, then dismembered his body and dumped it into the river. Police are currently searching the Kolubara mining area for remaining body parts. After parts of the body were found, Slobodan was summoned for questioning several times, but it remains unclear what exactly awakened the beast in him capable of such a brutal murder of a man he worked with.
Dark Past and Unanswered Questions
Slobodan was previously convicted for a traffic accident that resulted in a woman’s death. He served one year of house arrest with an electronic ankle monitor. Now the question arises — how could someone with such a past become even more dangerous? What happened in his mind?
Community Reactions

Conclusion
