Deceased/Not Found Danka Ilić, 1 year old, Bor, Serbia, 26 March 2024 *arrest*

  • #281
That "Pojata" (Po-ya-ta is how its pronounced) meaning barn, hay loft or stable in English looks to me like "divlja gradnja (pronounced deev-lya grad-nya)" or building without a permit as we'd say in English. This kind of illegal construction is a big nuisance in many places in the republics of the former Yugoslavia and was indeed when the country was still in tact as one sovereign nation. Just added for background information in case anyone was wondering about the rickety looking construction,

"THAT IS WHY THE INDICTMENT FOR THE DEATH OF DANKA ILIC WAS RETURNED.

The Court of Appeal announced its verdict

and the hearing of the girl's mother was also ordered.


The repeated procedure of examining the merits of the indictment,
again did not answer the crucial question -
which evidence in a quantitative sense
(without evaluation of probative strength)
and why are they sufficient and suitable for the reasonable suspicion
that the defendants committed the criminal acts in question,
raised to the level of reasonable doubt,
as a material condition for the confirmation of the indictment.

No specific evidence is provided from which there is a justified suspicion
that the co-defendants took the life of a two-year-old child by agreement:

- there are no eyewitnesses to the event
and

- no material evidence that the killing took place and in what way,

- there is no evidence of contact between the vehicle and the child's body,

- there are no biological traces
(blood, excreta, hair strands, etc., inside the cargo area of the vehicle),

- the child's body has not been found;

that is,
there is no evidence that a fatal outcome has occurred.

The hearing of Danka Ilić's mother was ordered

The panel will order that the investigation be supplemented by performing a
reconstruction of the event,
according to the testimony of each defendant individually,
especially according to the testimony of the mother of child,
who will be re-examined as a witness.

All
- in identical meteorological conditions,

- time of day,

- and with the identical mutual position of the buildings

- and the parked vehicle in the yard of the house."

"THE CASE OF DANKA ILIC STARTS AGAIN.


1746041420147.webp


In addition to the numerous requests presented by the Court of Appeal
it is stated that the indictment for the death of Danka Ilić
needs to be examined in a changed court composition.

'This means that judges who were involved in the case in any way
- whether it was the determination of custody,
- examination of the indictment,
- extension of custody,
cannot act in the new examination of the indictment.

Because of this,
the court in Zaječar requested that a new court panel be added to them,
as a result of which the Court of Appeal in Niš considered

that the case should be transferred to the nearest High Court in that region.

It is the High Court in Negotin' -
says the source."

" 'WHERE IS MY CHILD?'

Mother of Danka Ilić

spoke before the new hearing in the investigation of her daughter's death:

'My position remains the same!'


1746832239277.webp


'I found out about the new hearing from the media,
I haven't received the official invitation yet.

My position remains the same -
there is no question that I will not cooperate with the Prosecution, as I did the first time.

But I would like to finally get an answer to one question -
where is my child?',
said Ivana Ilić.

She emphasized
that as a mother she does not lose hope of finding out the truth
about what happened to her daughter.

The suspects of the crime are under investigation,
with a focus on reconstructing the events."

" 'WHY YOU, MY ANGEL?!'

The painful words of Danka Ilić's mother

on the missing girl's 3rd birthday:

'You should have blown out the candle with your brothers...'

'Why you, my angel?
Today you were supposed to blow out the candle with your brothers.
To play, laugh, argue.
I miss you too much every day.
Every second spent without you hurts.
You live dear in our hearts.
We love you.
As long as there are us, there will be you.
Forever'."

"SHE ANSWERED 50 QUESTIONS

IN THREE HOURS AND A HALF.


1747405877519.webp


Ivana Ilić, mother of Danka Ilić
was heard in the High Public Prosecutor's Office in Zaječar as a witness,
and for almost three and a half hours
she answered the questions of the prosecutor,
as well as the lawyers of the defendants:
Srđan J. and Dejan D.


Ivana Ilić stuck to her earlier statements given in the investigation
and almost repeated everything she had already told the authorities.

After leaving the prosecutor's office,
Ivana did not want to make statements to waiting journalists.

'She answered every question, calmly.
She was asked about fifty questions.
There is no deviation from earlier statements,
only this time she spoke in a little more detail'
says the source and adds that,
although the defendants were present,
they did not ask her about anything,
they were silent and listened."

This poor Mother is going through hell.. I wish at least the culprits would tell her where are Danka's remains so she could bury her properly and have some kind of closure..
That whole case breaks my heart honestly

" 'I EXPECT THE WORST'

Danka Ilić's grandfather

reveals what he expects from the reconstruction of the event.


1748996939274.webp


The reconstruction of the event is still being prepared with the aim of elucidating all the details.

Milan Ilić, the grandfather of the girl:


'I know that a reconstruction of the event is being prepared,
I am familiar with all the details.

I would not comment too much so as not to spoil the course of the investigation and supplement the indictment',
said Milan.

When asked what he expects after the reconstruction of the event, Ilić was brief:

'I expect the worst,
I hope for the worst outcome for the accused'.


Milan did not want to reveal whether he hopes that the reconstruction will help in finding little Danka Ilić.

'I really wouldn't comment on anything further.
The lawyer advised our whole family not to comment to the media
and not to make any statements until the indictment is completed.
I don't want to spoil anything, sorry',
said Milan Ilić."

He was at work. IIRC a coworker drove him/accompanied him after he got the call from Danka’s mom.

I so wish the guilty parties would come clean with the location of baby Danka. Let her family bury her. My heart just breaks for her family, such a beautiful little girl.

" 'I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT MOMENT WHEN SHE DISAPPEARED'

Banjsko polje residents revealed the details of the search for Danka Ilić:

'Police looked into every corner of the house'.

In Banjsko Polje near Bor,
a reconstruction of the events of the disappearance of two-year-old Danka Ilić,
on March 26, 2024
which shook the whole of Serbia,
was carried out yesterday,
and the residents of this place say that even now, more than a year later,
they cannot forget that day when the girl disappeared from the yard of the family home.

'It is difficult even today,
I will never forget that day,
everything was full of police.
Locals were on their feet and looking everywhere for Danka,
no one could have even guessed that something could have happened to her',
says a resident of Banjsko Polje
who lives not far from the farm where the girl was last seen.

'We will never forget this.
The whole of Serbia stopped then.
For days we watched the police, rescuers, search dogs...

No one could believe that a child could disappear just like that',
added a visibly shaken local woman.

Today,
with strong police forces,
the entire event was reconstructed, and the suspects were brought to Banjsko Polje in two police vehicles, as well as the girl's parents.

In addition to them,
Radoslav D., the father of one of the suspects,
who is also included in the indictment,
came to the scene in the presence of a lawyer."

"Fifteen months after the disappearance of two-year-old Danka Ilić,
the reconstruction of her disappearance has finally been completed.

It was done by order of the Appellate Court in Nis,
it lasted eight hours
and it is the most complex and extensive reconstruction of a crime
in the history of the Serbian judiciary.

There are no more confessions -
the two suspects,
after confessing to the crime,
denied their testimony.


In the reconstruction,
Ivana Ilić, the girl's mother, was heard again,
and the neighbors
who live near the yard of the house from which the girl disappeared
were also questioned.

The answer that everyone is waiting for is -
has there been any new information in the investigation?

"After the expert examinations,
the experts will give their opinion and findings as to whether the reconstruction that took place in June of this year affects the investigation that has been carried out so far.

After that,
the prosecutor's office will decide on further taking evidentiary actions and making a meritorious public prosecutor's decision.


It is expected that,
after the decision is made,
the prosecutor's office will file charges again.

Suspects Janković and Dragijević are still in custody."

"THE COMPLETED RECONSTRUCTION OF THE MURDER OF DANKA ILIC.

The Prosecution is waiting for only one more analysis until the final decision.


1758757516553.webp



The Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Zaječar received the results of the analysis of the experts from Belgrade
on the facts obtained on the ground during the reconstruction of the case of little Danka Ilić.

'We have just received the results of the analysis of the reconstruction of the disappearance and murder
carried out by the National Center for Criminal Forensics in Belgrade.

Now we are waiting for the results of the analysis of the reconstruction of the Faculty of Technical Sciences, Department of Traffic from Novi Sad.

Among other things,
they compare facts from the field, statements of witnesses, examine surveillance cameras',
Prosecution says.

In essence,
experts from Novi Sad should confirm or deny
whether the suspect's vehicle hit the girl,
as well as the movement of the vehicle that day.


Also,
the movements of other cars are being analysed,
namely the suspects' friends, relatives, locals, and vehicles that happened to be nearby.

Experts in Novi Sad,
in addition to reviewing hours of camera footage, comparing them with witness statements and reconstruction,
are also in charge of other checks that are not being made public for the time being due to the investigation."

"A year and a half ago,
the Find Me system, the domestic version of the Amber Alert,
was announced for the first time in Serbia.

On March 26, around 1:30 p.m. in Banjsko Polje near Bor,
in the yard of an abandoned family house,
a two-year-old girl, Danka Ilić, disappeared.

1758758705021.webp


Despite one of the biggest searches ever recorded in this area,
little Danka Ilić has not been found.

According to the official version,
the girl was killed,
although even today many doubt it.

Danka, officially,
has not yet been declared dead."

Thank you, Dotta! I didn’t realize our sweet Danka had never been declared dead. My heart hurts for this little one and her family. It’s wrong that this has dragged on for 18 mos I hope the reconstruction answers any questions of LE or the courts so this can be litigated and those involved can be dealt with appropriately.
