Australian police are still trying to unravel the chilling murder of Zdravko Bilić, a 57-year-old man originally from the former Yugoslavia, whose stabbed body was found in the yard of his luxury home in Varani. All signs point to the heartbreaking possibility that Bilić paid with his life for trying to stop burglars in their tracks. His wife describes him as the kindest, gentlest person, beloved by neighbors, which only deepens the shock and sorrow over this brutal act.
Police confirmed that Bilić suffered two stab wounds to the stomach area. Detective Inspector Chris Tuhi highlighted that one of the main theories is that Zdravko interrupted a burglary, which led to him being stabbed. The investigation is ongoing, and police are urging anyone with information or surveillance footage from July 13 to 14 to come forward. The crime scene is a luxury house with five bedrooms and three bathrooms, purchased for 2.5 million dollars in December last year.
This case has shaken the local community in Varani, where neighbors describe Bilić as a beloved figure. His wife, originally from Norway, runs a successful skincare company based in Melbourne. Though the death is horrific and shocking, police hope that with public help, they can solve the crime and find the perpetrators. As the investigation continues, everyone is left wondering how such a tragedy could happen in a peaceful neighborhood.
