A 20\u002Dyear\u002Dold Serbian man suspected of killing eight people and wounding 12 others has confessed to the crime, the prosecutors\u0027 office in the town of Smederevo near Belgrade said.
No lawyer for the suspect has been named.
Burials were being held on Saturday for four of the pupils and the guard killed in the school shooting and five young men killed in the second rampage. Despite strong gun controls, Serbia and the rest of the Western Balkans are awash with military-grade weapons and ordnance that stayed in private hands after the 1990s wars that tore apart the former Yugoslavia.
Flowers were laid and candles lit for the third consecutive day on Saturday in front of the Vladislav Ribnikar school in Belgrade. People lined up on Saturday to sign a book of condolence at the school.
