Another police officer committed suicide, the fourth in as many months, the Nova.rs portal reported on Thursday.

The policeman was the fourth to commit suicide in the past few months, the portal said. It added that the 40 year old patrolman committed suicide in the Savski Venac police station. An unnamed source told the portal that the policeman passed a psychological evaluation a few weeks ago.

This was the second police suicide in February, Nova.rs said. Earlier this month, a policeman committed suicide after killing his wife in the Grocka suburb of the Serbian capital.

Policemen in Pozarevac and Alibunar committed suicide in November and December 2022.
