On 27 July 2007, Radosavljević had lunch with his wife Jelena, who just came from Vienna that day, in Jabukovac (Romanian: Icubovăț).

At around 17:00, they had an argument, which ended with Radosavljević hitting his wife and breaking her nose and jaw.

He walked down the street and saw the married couple Branislav (57) and Draginja (55) Borongić standing in their yard.

After the attacks, Radosavljević met an old woman on the street and asked her if she practiced Vlach magic.

Along the way, he shot and injured Vanuca Badarević (72), who managed to survive by hiding behind her house.

However, her neighbour Persa "Jelica" Banković (37), who was washing clothes outside, was fatally shot and fell dead on the street.

When he arrived at his sister-in-law, Anika Čogić (62), he first accused and blamed her for being responsible for everything that had happened to him.

[1][2][3] Nikola Radosavljević (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Радосављевић; born 1968), is the 55-year-old perpetrator.

However, he had attacked several people the year before already, in 2006, when he was on a bus trip from Austria to Serbia.

After that, Radosavljević was admitted to the Laza Lazarević Institute for Neuropsychiatric Diseases in Belgrade, two months before the massacre.

After some time, he stopped taking his medication and attacked his coworker in Austria in October, whereupon he was sent back to the hospital.

Two days before the shooting, he and his son went to a local Vlach sorcerer, who confirmed that he indeed was under the influence of a curse.

His wife and father found incense and a spoon in his house and suspected that he was using them to get rid of the curse.
