Parents of Serbian schoolboy killer face trial for neglect; victim's family still seeks justice

Three years after 13-year-old Andrej Simić was fatally stabbed 37 times by a schoolmate, criminal proceedings have been initiated against the perpetrator's parents for complicity in a serious crime against public safety and neglect/abuse of a minor. The perpetrator was deemed criminally irresponsible, and no one has yet been held accountable for the murder itself. This development marks a legal step toward accountability for the parents, but the core question of responsibility for the killing remains unresolved.
