ZAGREB, CROATIA – After neighbour Katica Caric last saw her 41 years ago, as she was talking with two unknown men, Hedviga Golik (84) was found dead yesterday, in the bed of her small loft apartment in Zagreb`s 77 Medvescak.
Despite numerous tenants` actions, who noticed nobody was using the flat in 1970, as well as the city services, which requested the apartment to be broken into and examined, nobody reacted to their pleas for nearly four decades.
Police did not want to break into the apartment in 1991
Tenant Mirko Horvatic sent a memo to the police in 1991, which was signed by the tenants’` council, requesting they examine the flat, above all because of their co-tenant’s health and maintenance of the apartment, utility services and rent which all the neighbours have been paying for the late woman for years.
- I honestly don`t know why nobody has broken into the apartment. We requested it so many times, but nobody listened to us – Horvatic told us, explaining that nobody wanted to break into the apartment on their own as it is other people`s property.
Hedviga`s body lied on the bed in the half-lit room
However, the apartment`s ownership status was supposed to have been regulated this year, therefore president of the tenants’ organisation Sime Ungar broke into the apartment yesterday around 4 o`clock with two other neighbours.

Very weird, they were bothered enough to carry on paying her share of the bills but never went to check on her.
