Belgrade’s Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office has filed an indictment against Sasa V., known as Boske, for the criminal offence of aggravated murder. Prosecutors allege that on May 12, 2026, at Restaurant 27 in the Senjak neighbourhood, he killed Aleksandar Nesovic in a treacherous manner. The indictment has already been forwarded to the Higher Court in Belgrade for confirmation.
According to prosecutors, the suspect fired at least 10 shots at the victim from a firearm. Alongside aggravated murder, he is also charged with the unlawful carrying of weapons. Guilt has not been established by a final judgment, and the suspect enjoys the presumption of innocence until a court rules otherwise.
What the indictment covers
Besides the main suspect, the indictment names five more people. They are Mario S, Nenad L, Petar U, Vuk S. and Dejan S. Prosecutors charge them with assisting the perpetrator after the crime by concealing evidence.
According to the indictment, the body was moved from the scene after the killing. It was placed in a barrel that was filled with concrete, then welded shut and buried near a lake in Jarkovci. Prosecutors treat the whole sequence as an organised attempt to hide the crime and obstruct the work of investigators.
For the crime desk, this case is more than a single killing. The meeting at Restaurant 27 has been linked to tensions within the criminal underworld, and its outcome became the subject of one of the most closely followed investigations of the year. The act itself, if proven, falls among the gravest forms of murder recognised by law.
Why did prosecutors release the forensic findings?
On the same day it announced the indictment, the prosecution also released key parts of the forensic and ballistic examination carried out by the Institute of Forensic Medicine. That is an unusual step at this stage of proceedings. The reason cited by prosecutors was inaccurate information circulating on social media.
By publishing the findings, the institution sought to separate what the examination established from rumour. Forensic evidence, by its nature, is weighed by the court at the main trial. Prosecutors stress that the findings are the work of an expert institution, not the reconstructions spreading online.
In legal terms, the next step is the Higher Court’s decision on whether to confirm the indictment. If the court confirms it, the case proceeds to trial, where evidence is presented and witnesses are heard. Until then, every claim should be read as an allegation by the prosecution, not as an established fact.
The Senjak case shows how thin the line is between what the public reads online and what is proven in court. Who do we trust before a verdict lands, the prosecution, the defence, or our own impression from the media?
