Today, the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Zaječar and the Higher Court in Negotin are conducting a reconstruction of the disappearance and murder of Danka Ilić in Banjsko Polje, which occurred on March 26 last year. The prosecution suspects that the accused, Srđan Janković and Dejan Dragijević, employees of the Bor Public Utility Company Vodovod, hit Danka with an official car, strangled her, and hid the body. The reconstruction aims to detail the circumstances of the event, with the presence of experts and witnesses, including the victim’s mother. The accused face life imprisonment. The indictment has been returned twice for supplementation due to insufficient evidence, and the investigation is ongoing.
