The case of the murder of Jelena Marjanović is still ongoing in the Belgrade court, where her husband Zoran Marjanović is accused of the murder. The house in the Belgrade neighborhood of Borča, known as Marjanović’s house, was recently sold. Neighbors noticed the buyer but did not contact anyone. Zoran Marjanović has repeatedly claimed innocence during the trial, and the first-instance verdict was overturned, with the trial ongoing. Jelena Marjanović was murdered nine years ago, and her body was found in a canal near the place where she was running. The investigation determined she was killed by blows from a blunt object, but the object remains unidentified.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning outlets tend to emphasize the ongoing judicial process and the importance of due process, highlighting that Zoran Marjanović has not been definitively convicted yet. They may also focus on the human tragedy and the impact on the family, as well as the need for a fair trial.
Center: Centrist sources report the facts of the case, including the sale of the house, the ongoing trial, and the details of the murder without much editorializing. They provide balanced coverage focusing on the legal developments and community reactions.
Right: Right-leaning media might emphasize the severity of the crime and the public outrage, possibly focusing on the alleged guilt of Zoran Marjanović and the symbolic nature of the house sale as a closure or continuation of the case’s public interest. They may also highlight law and order narratives.
