Belgrade Parents Convicted in Connection to Kost K. Case
In a ruling following a preliminary trial, Vladimir Kecmanović and his wife, Miljana Kecmanović, were convicted on charges related to the care and supervision of Kost K., the boy involved in the 2023 school shooting. The convictions stem from incidents surrounding the events of May 3, 2023, when Kost K.
caused significant harm, resulting in ten fatalities and six injuries at the “Vladislav Ribnikar” elementary school in Belgrade. Vladimir Kecmanović was sentenced to 14 years and six months imprisonment, with the conviction encompassing charges of neglect and abuse of a minor, alongside accusations against the entire family. Miljana Kecmanović received a sentence of two years and eleven months for similar charges related to the neglect and abuse of a minor.
The sentencing concluded a second preliminary trial, and both the prosecution and the convicted individuals retain the right to appeal the verdict. The case remains connected to the broader investigation into the events surrounding Kost K. and the tragic incident at the elementary school.
The focus of the legal proceedings centered on the responsibility of the parents in ensuring the safety and well-being of the boy.
