Mother of youth who stumbled upon gruesome sight: "My son and his friend found body parts in sack in Kolubara"

Body parts were found last night in a sack in the Kolubari River near Veliki Crljeni by a young man who was riding a motorcycle with his friend!

This information has been confirmed for Telegraf.rs by his mother, but at the same time she did not wish to answer any more questions.

As our portal first reported, a man's leg was recovered from the water last night, while the search for the rest of the body is underway on Tuesday.

By order of the higher public prosecutor's office in Belgrade, an autopsy will be performed.

Initial information indicates that the body is of a man who is well known in Lazarevac, and whose disappearance was reported to the police by the family four days ago.

"My father owes nothing to anyone, everyone owes to him. I have no other information," one of his sons has told the press.

Whether the case is a brutal crime will be known after the results of the autopsy are revealed.

A Telegraf.rs reporter is at the scene of the search.

Members of the Gendarmerie have arrived. They will dive in the river in the hope of recovering the missing body parts.

Since early morning, boats carrying inspectors from the Belgrade police can be seen on the muddy Kolubara. Firefighters are also present.

"I heard that a man's body was found. A woman's body was found in the same place a few years ago. People throw away whatever they can here, and you can see how many fishermen there are," a woman who came to watch the search commented.

The news of the gruesome discovery has upset the residents of Veliki Crljeni.

"They say thhere were body parts in a sack. I heard that it's suspected it was the man from Lazarevac. His disappearance was reported to the police a few days ago. If this is that man, he was known for lending money and charging interest. This scared us all. Crljeni is a peaceful place," a local said.

"I heard last night that Kolubara will be searched here today, probably for other body parts. We don't know whether he was killed, and whether it's the man from Lazarevac. When something like this happens, people say all sorts of things," another resident added.

Telegraf.rs has learned that the initial investigation lasted until late last night, and was carried out by criminal investigations police (UKP) and a prosecutor from Belgrade.
