Two men suspected of attempting to kill journalist Dusan Miljus and entrepreneur Josip Galinec have been remanded in custody for another two months, the Zagreb County Court said on Tuesday.
The court has been investigating Djordje Vuletic and Darko Dakic for said crimes since late December. Investigating Judge Zdenko Posavec has remanded them in custody to prevent them from tampering with witnesses and their accomplices, who are at large, and from repeating the crime as well as due to the gravity of the crime.
Deputy court spokesman Ratko Scekic said Vuletic and Dakic were remanded in custody because there were many witnesses that remained to be interrogated.
Miljus and Galinec have already testified.
Vuletic, 49, a former police officer, and Dakic, 33, have denied brutally assaulting Galinec outside the Economy Ministry in broad daylight in September 2008.
Dakic is also suspected of brutally beating up Miljus with an unknown assailant in June that year, also in Zagreb.
Vuletic and Dakic are suspected as perpetrators of the two murder attempts, but it remains unknown who hired them.
