A court in Serbia has handed down convictions to the parents of a teenage boy who carried out a tragic school shooting in central Belgrade last year. The incident, which took place at the Vladislav Ribnikar primary school, resulted in the deaths of nine pupils and a school guard, with six others sustaining injuries.
The father, Vladimir Kecmanovic, was sentenced to 14 years and six months in prison for grave acts against public safety and child neglect. The mother, Miljana Kecmanovic, received a three-year prison term for child neglect but was acquitted of illegal possession of weapons charges.
