May 14, 2023 – Tragedy in the town of Kostanjevac Riječki, near Križevci, where a 16-year-old died at a party in the early hours. His 17-year-old friend has been arrested, reports Index.hr.
The Koprivnica-Križevci police reported this morning that they arrested one person after the death of a 16-year-old in a restaurant in Kostanjevac Rijeka.
On Sunday around 1:23 a.m., the police acted on a report from the Križevci Emergency Medical Service that they were providing medical assistance to a 16-year-old in a restaurant in Kostanjevac Rijeka. The young man later died after receiving medical help. The police reported that one person was arrested and a criminal investigation is being conducted into the circumstances of the event.
As ePodravina has learned, the 18-year-old girl’s birthday was celebrated in the wine cellar, a space that is rented as part of the Joker cafe.
At one point, they had an argument in front of the cafe and got into a fight
There were dozens of young people at the celebration, among them two friends who at one point had an argument and in front of the space, on the children’s playground near the slide, they were pushed. One young man, one year older, hit another and the latter collapsed after 10, 15 seconds and never woke up. Everything happened after midnight, around 1 o’clock.
“At one point, the 16-year-old fell and ran out of air. He started to suffocate and everyone was shocked when they saw that they could not help him at all. In about half an hour, the ambulance from Križevci arrived, but the young man could not be saved.
“All of this is terrible, especially for the parents and family of the young man who unfortunately passed away. It was clearly the finger of fate that the festival turned into a tragedy the likes of which our region does not remember,” say the shocked residents of Kostanjevac Rijeka.
Emergency workers resuscitated the young man for half an hour, but he could not be saved and he died in the ambulance. Unofficially, it is known that the young man (17) who hit his friend ran away from the scene out of shock, but soon returned. The arrested young man is from Pofuk.
“The two of them came to the celebration together, they were good friends, they drank coffee in a cafe and went to celebrate. This is a great tragedy, we can’t believe it, we are all in shock,” says the local. The young man who died was from Sudovac, a small town next to Kostanjevac Rijeka.
