Mile Matić

After his arrest, Matić was found with a list of 20 names of people he wanted to kill. Experts diagnosed him with paranoid schizophrenia. He was sentenced to compulsory treatment. He was sent to the Belgrade District Prison Hospital, where he hanged himself in August 1994.

On the morning of February 26, 1986, in Doboj, Matić met his sister's husband in his parents' apartment in a room he always kept locked up. They quarreled and fought. Matić hit his brother-in-law in the head with an iron, wrapped him in a sheet and blanket and shot him five times with a service pistol. He then got into a taxi cab and killed the taxi driver near the Vranduk tunnel, with four shots to the head, and then threw his body into the Bosna River. He removed the taxi signs from the car and went to Zenica to work at the prison. He was seen in the cafeteria with one of his colleagues, with whom he rarely talked. They agreed to go to a nearby village to pick up the girls. Then they left and Matić shot the colleague in the head near the village of Jeline. After that, he left his body in the car, and hitchhiked to Zenica.

In March 1985, Matić met Smiljana Vasiljević. At that time, her boyfriend was in the army. She was a third-grade high school student. They were seeing each other, but at the end of the school year, she ended the relationship. However, Matić did not accept it. He watched her more and more often, waited for her near the school, and arranged for her parents to marry her. Realizing that neither marriage nor love with her will work, he openly threatened the girl and her parents, and then her boyfriend. He once told her friends, "She will not live to see the eighth of March."

After two months of treatment at Zenica Psychiatric Hospital, Matić was released on 16 January 1985. He was discharged as a cured patient with a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. He was forbidden to come into contact with any weapons and was advised to report monthly to the Disability Commission. A similar opinion was expressed a few weeks later by a psychologist from the Sarajevo Institute of Public Health after a regular systematic examination of prison guards from Zenica. He stole these records and hid them. Even then, he had thoughts on how to get rid of people who "haunt him and who bother him."
