prijava
SARAJEVO, April 19 (FENA) - The Croatian Defense Council (HVO) ex-fighters Zdenko Grbavac and Željko Simunović were charged with committing crimes against humanity by killing three Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Konjic area during wartime.
The state court on Wednesday confirmed an indictment charging Grbavac and Šimunović with having persecuted and aided in the persecution of the Serb population in the Konjic municipality between mid-May 1992 and early May 1993.
The prosecution alleges that Grbavac and Šimunović, who were armed with automatic rifles, singled out three captured Serb civilians from a convoy in the village of Bradina.
“They took the captured civilians toward the Orthodox church in Bradina. Grbavac personally killed the three Serb men by shooting them with firearms in the yard of a house,” the prosecution said in a statement on April 5.
Šimunović is also charged with having participated in the torture and beating of another Serb prisoner, BIRN reports.
