Police in Mostar Detain Suspect Linked to Woman’s Murder

Authorities in Mostar have arrested a man believed to be an accomplice in the killing of a woman whose death shocked the local community and prompted a widespread search for those involved.

The suspect was taken into custody during a coordinated police operation late Tuesday, following days of investigation and surveillance. Officials say the man is suspected of helping the primary perpetrator evade capture and may have played a supporting role in the events leading up to the murder.

Police have not released the suspect’s identity but confirmed that he is from the Mostar area and was known to the main suspect, who remains at large. Investigators believe the two maintained close contact in the hours after the killing, and evidence collected so far suggests deliberate efforts to obstruct the investigation.

Local authorities have increased patrols and appealed to the public to provide any information that could assist in locating the primary suspect. They say the arrest marks a major step forward in the case, though the investigation remains active and ongoing.

Residents expressed relief at the latest development but continue to demand swift justice and greater security measures in the wake of the crime. Community groups have also called for better protection for women and stronger institutional responses to violence.

Police officials emphasized that more details will be released once the investigation reaches a more advanced stage. For now, they say the priority is locating the main suspect and ensuring that all individuals connected to the crime are held accountable.
