At that time, her boyfriend was in the army. She was a third-grade high school student. They were seeing each other, but at the end of the school year, she ended the relationship. However, Matić did not accept it. He watched her more and more often, waited for her near the school, and arranged for her parents to marry her. Realizing that neither marriage nor love with her will work, he openly threatened the girl and her parents, and then her  boyfriend. He once told her friends, "She will not live to see the eighth of March." Matić often quarreled over the behavior of his sister's husband. He received dozens of complaints about threats and behavior at work. But no one paid attention to them and did not take them seriously.

He removed the taxi signs from the car and went to Zenica to work at the prison. He was seen in the cafeteria with one of his colleagues, with whom he rarely talked. They agreed to go to a nearby village to pick up the girls. Then they left and Matić shot the  colleague in the head near the village of Jeline. After that, he left his body in the car, and hitchhiked to Zenica. At about 9 pm, Matić changed his clothes and took an M62 submachine gun, a pistol, and 300 bullets in a large bag from the prison. He then introduced himself as a municipal official, got into a taxi cab and put a heavy bag in the trunk. He asked the driver to take him to Vinkovce immediately. When they left the city, the driver began to suspect the identity of the passenger. Because of this, the driver tried  to inform the police about his passenger at the gas station.

He was offered a  meal and bed. Meanwhile, information about the killings reached Zarječe. His hosts guessed that he could be a killer, and tied him with a dog chain.
