Background

Filip Kapisoda (3 April 1987 – 16 March 2010) was a Montenegrin male model. He was born in Cetinje, in Yugoslavia. He was one of the tenants of the Serbian show Big Brother VIP All Stars. Because of his attractive looks, Kapisoda received an offer from designer Rocco Barocco, but he rejected it in order to create a career in Montenegro. As a participant of multiple fashion shows Filip won many awards. He received recognition as the best model of Belgrade Fashion week 2006. Filip Kapisoda was also the brother of handball player Petar Kapisoda.

The offence

Ksenija Pajčin, a 32-year-old singer, and Filip Kapisoda, a 22-year-old model, were found dead in an apartment in Belgrade. Both had gunshot wounds to the head. Police suspected a murder-suicide, with Kapisoda as the shooter. Early investigation reports stated that the dead bodies were discovered by the singer's mother. A gun used in the homicide was found next to Kapisoda's body.

Investigation

The investigation was ongoing. Police were called to the house several nights earlier because the couple were reported by neighbors after Kapisoda broke into Pajčin's apartment, knocking down the door. Unofficially, police intervened in their apartment two days before the deaths because of violence, but no one was detained at the time. Neighbors heard two shots around 4:30 pm. Police suspect a murder-suicide with Kapisoda as the shooter.

Death and discovery

On 16 March 2010, the bodies of Kapisoda and his girlfriend, Ksenija Pajčin, were found in her apartment in Belgrade. The bodies were found somewhat after 6 p.m. by Ksenija’s mother Ljubica. When she unlocked the door, she found her daughter’s body in the hall. Filip’s body was in the room with a pistol behind him. It was believed that the couple had a quarrel again and that Ksenija was on her way to the door either to throw Filip out or leave the flat herself. Filip then shot her in the head from behind. When he realized that she was dead, he killed himself.

Motive

It was believed that the motive for the murder-suicide was jealousy.

Other details

Ksenija’s best friend, Goran Stojicevic, spoke about Filip’s statements about suicide and jealousy:

"I shall kill myself if she leaves me. I love her so much. I cannot live without her", Filip said on Sunday evening in front of the building that Ksenija lived in', Goran Stojicevic said: "It was a huge love. They planned to marry. Ksenija loved him so much but was very much bothered by his jealousy. That is why she left him two weeks ago when he went to Germany on business. He called me twenty times from there. He begged me find her because she did not respond to any of his calls. He begged me make her take him back again. It was then he said for the first time he would kill himself if she refuses to reconcile. Unfortunately, I then paid no serious attention to his words" Stojicevic also said: "She asked me to buy her cigarettes and told me she should not have called the police because she only made a problem to herself. She was angry at them because they had not protected her privacy but spread around a story that they intervened because she was fighting with her boyfriend. That evening she called me again and said that they had quarreled again and that Filip was knocking at her door. She asked me what to do. Let him in, I said don’t you see that he loves you. That was our last conversation" On the day before the deaths, three people appeared in a televised show "Nothing to hide" on the TV Pink, and Filip gave flowers to Ksenija. Stojicevic described what he saw outside the building: "I was shocked when she called me that same evening asking to come immediately. In front of the building I saw policemen leaving and Filip crying and saying again he could not live without Ksenija and that he would kill himself. I went upstairs to her flat and spoke to her in favor of her and Filip’s love. She complained of his jealousy again and regretted that she took him back. I could not imagine what would follow. The last time I saw her was the next day, a day before she was killed" Ksenija was said to have asked Stojicevic to buy her cigarettes, and she had told him she should not have called the police. Stojicevic said their last conversation occurred that evening.

The next day, on the day of murder, Filip sent Ksenija a message at 3 p.m. to come the next day to his son’s birthday celebration. The autopsy was carried out the next day, and toxicology analyses were also to be made.
