Court medicine expert Milan Srdic confirmed Doctor Mirko Prodanovic’s findings after the murder and said that several bullet entry wounds were found on Zlatko Alilovic’s body and that he bled to death due to those wounds.

Milko Maric, a court expert in ballistics, said that he analysed the automatic guns, capsules and bullets, which were given to him after the murder.

“It was determined that the gun was usable and that the bullets had been fired from that gun. We were not able to analyse the bullet, because it was damaged,” Maric said.

Lakic, former member of “Vukovi sa Vucijaka” (“Wolves from Vucijak”) Unit, is charged with having killed Zlatko Alilovic in Prnjavor in February 1993.

The indictment alleges that Lakic, who was accompanied by two more people, entered a house in Prnjavor, mistreated the house residents and fired four bullets at Alilovic, who bled to death.  

Testifying at this hearing, Defence witness Pero Sandic, who worked as Chief of Crime Police in Prnjavor when the murder was committed, said that he did not remember the details related to Alilovic’s murder.
 
When asked by Defence attorney Jadranka Ivanovic whether it was possible that Lakic was in custody from March 22 to 30 due to a suspicion that he participated in this crime without him knowing it, Sandic said that he must have known that, but he did not remember anybody being held in custody for eight days.  

The Defence attorney then asked him if he knew Zarko Brkovic and Vojko Duronjic, also known as Jansa, Sandic said that he only knew Jansa by sight. Ivanovic said that the two men were former members of “Vukovi sa Vucijaka”, that they were transferred to police once the Unit had been dismissed and that they arrested Lakic following the murder.

The trial continuation date will be set at a later stage.
