Mile Matić (Cyrillic: Миле Матић; 14 January 1956 – August 1994) was a Yugoslavian prison guard and spree killer who murdered nine people and wounded three others in Derventa on 26 February 1986.
[1] He was found to be mentally disabled and sent to a psychiatric hospital for compulsory treatment, where he committed suicide in 1994 at the age of 38.
Mile Matić was born on 14 January 1956 in Derventa, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia.
He worked as a coach in the karate section, but was fired because he stole money from membership fees.
He loved crime novels, Mercedes cars, and wanted young and beautiful girls.
Realizing that neither marriage nor love with her will work, he openly threatened the girl and her parents, and then her boyfriend.
After two months of treatment at Zenica Psychiatric Hospital, Matić was released on 16 January 1985.
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.
"[1][2] 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.
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.
At about 9 pm, Matić changed his clothes and took an M62 submachine gun, a pistol, and 300 bullets in a large bag from the prison.
He then introduced himself as a municipal official, got into a taxi cab and put a heavy bag in the trunk.
Twenty kilometers later, on the road near Žepče, two police officers stopped a cab and asked the two to show their documents.
Matić ran to the nearby church, put on a security guard's coat, left his bag in the barn and fled to Doboj.
In Poljice, Matić did not find his friend and told the driver to take him to Koprivna Donja, because he had a girlfriend there.
