The parents of a boy who shot dead nine children and a security guard at a Serbian elementary school have been given jail terms in a retrial in Belgrade.
The boy was 13 when he shot dead seven girls, a boy and a school guard at Vladislav Ribnikar school in Belgrade in 2023. Another girl died later in hospital.
The shooter was under the age of criminal responsibility and was placed in a psychiatric institution, but his parents Vladimir and Miljana Kecmanović were accused of neglect and abuse of a minor, while his father was also accused of a serious offence against public safety.
Kecmanović was sentenced to 14 years and six months in prison on Thursday. His wife received two years and 11 months.
Both defence and prosecution have lodged appeals against the jail terms.
