A neuropsychiatrist, Ivan Urlić, appeared live on Nine KLjenak’s program to comment on the recent murder in Drniš that shocked Croatian society. "A great tragedy has occurred, and while it sounds crude, we can use this to try and understand how to handle situations involving psychopathic individuals with psychotically aggressive elements to prevent such incidents," Urlić said.

He emphasized the crucial role of judicial institutions, as well as psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers. "Psychiatrists assess the development of personality and the environment in which the person grew up. Psychologists use tests to understand personality functions and defense mechanisms, which can help us determine how to better manage an individual’s aggressive impulses," he explained.

The murderer had a history of significant mental health issues from a young age, developing aggressive thinking and behavior. "At 18, he committed a horrendous crime by stabbing a young woman 17 times, which should have triggered a need for continuous special supervision," Urlić stated.

Urlić also detailed practical measures, such as admitting the individual to a psychiatric ward to manage acute mental decompensation. "The goal is to establish a better relationship and demonstrate that others are not as threatening as the person perceives them to be," he said.

Psychiatrist Anto Bagarić echoed the need for better cooperation and alertness among services and individuals. "We need to improve our legislation and practices to better manage and supervise individuals with aggressive intentions," he emphasized.
