BELGRADE, 24.12.2018. – Police have arrested three men they suspect were involved in setting the house of journalist Milan Jovanovic ablaze in Grocka, near the central town of Vrcin, said Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic at a Sunday press conference.

Stefanovic only revealed the initials and the years the suspects were born: A.M., 1993 and B.S.C.,1981.

Authorities also tracked down and arrested the person they suspect had ordered and paid for the attack. He was identified as I.N.,1977.

All suspects are residents of Grocka.

Police said they believe that A.M. broke the window and threw a bottle filled with gasoline into Jovanovic’s house.

“Police have obtained a confession from the suspect, and the investigation is continuing and is steered toward other persons who may be connected to the act,” Stefanovic said.

He added that he expects the court to act swiftly and convict the suspects.
