History [ edit ] Returning from exile in Russia in 1817, Karađorđe Petrović as leader of the First Serbian Uprising and Revolutionary Serbia , and his companion Naum Krnar stayed at a field hut owned by Dragić Vojkić in Radovanje Grove, in the Radovanje village. However, Miloš Obrenović I who had come to an arrangement with the Ottoman Turks as leader of the semi-autonomous Principality of Serbia , ordered for Karađorđe and Krnar to be assassinated. Nikola Novaković, a confidant of Vujica Vulićević , cut off Karađorđe's head with a yatagan , and killed Krnar with a shotgun. He buried them, both headless in a grave 100 feet away from the hut to the stream, and their heads, skinless and stuffed , were sent to Istanbul in order to prove to the Ottomans that the two were dead.[1]
The place of the assassination is marked by a large wooden cross with marble slab with text. Memorial church dedicated to Karađorđe was built in the 1936.[1]
