Teenager was hit by killer's car before she was murdered

BELGRADE -- The suspect in the murder of a 15-year-old girl is Dragan Đurić - a 34 year-old Belgrader who lives in the suburb of Surčin, the interior minister has said.

The victim, Tijana Jurić, was reported missing on July 26 from the town of Bajmok in Serbia's northern province of Vojvodina.

Serbia's Interior Minister said he regretted that the country had abolished the death penalty following the discovery of the body of a teenage girl who had apparently been murdered in a particularly brutal fashion.

Serbian police on Wednesday arrested Dragan Djuric, a 34-year-old butcher from the Belgrade neighbourhood of Surcin, for the murder of Tijana Juric.
