Nine years since the murder: Denis's dreams were cut short by three hooligans

Nine years ago, on his way from school to home, 17-year-old Denis Mrnjavac was killed in a Sarajevo tram. His mother Ana, family members, and friends gathered in the Youth Association “Denis Mrnjavac” will lay flowers in his memory at the Technical School tram stop, Patria reports.

Denis was beaten and then stabbed to death in a Sarajevo tram by his peers. Allegedly, they were bothered by just one look from this boy, who was attending the second grade of high school.

The Supreme Court of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina sentenced Ademir Lelović to 15 years and Berin Talić to ten years in prison for aiding Nermin Sikirić, who had previously been sentenced to 10 years in prison, which is the maximum sentence that can be imposed on a minor.

Denis became a symbol of the fight against peer violence. Citizens took to the streets several times, demanding changes to the law, greater safety, and freedom.

After laying flowers, a visit to Denis's final resting place in Lepenica will be organized.
