The Easter massacre in Jelovci was the birth of savage violence

In 1931, a brutal crime occurred in Jelovc, located on the left bank of the Drava River, six kilometers from Maribor's center. The incident, described as savage, was linked to the spirit of the times and foreshadowed a new era. The family involved was a rural household, with the father, Alojz, sleeping in a room left of the farmhouse, while his elderly sister, two adult daughters, and their six-year-old son Rajmund slept on the other side of the farmhouse doors. The 36-year-old son, Ivan, had to sleep in the barn due to lack of space. He later regretted his father's decision. The sole witness to the crime was a frightened forest bird.
