Witness Suvad Brdar said that, on May 25, 1992 he saw a person, who “killed the Milosevic family members”, explaining that he heard later on that the person’s nickname was Maca.   
 
Brdar explained that, while standing 50 metres away from there, that he watched the person, whom he did not know at the time, shooting on the Milosevic family house. The witness said that he saw Srdjan Milosevic carrying a gun and heard him saying something.
 
As he said, the person, whose nickname, as he found out later, was Maca, shot at Srdjan first and then also at other members of the Milosevic family.
 
Following the shooting, the witness went to Lokve village, where Sedzad Kalem showed him a person, whose nickname was Maca. The witness said that other persons too told him that he had killed the Milosevic family members.
 
When asked by Defence attorney Midhat Koco if he saw indictee Sadikovic that day, the witness answered negatively, explaining that he had known him from before.
 
Sadikovic, former member of the Armed forces of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is charged with having killed four Serb civilians in Kasatici village in May 1992. 
 
Second witness Sedzad Kalem said that Izet Hujic, also known as Maca, told him that he had killed the Milosevic family members. The witness explained that he was in the vicinity of Milosevic’s family house.
 
“I heard shouting, a scream, a burst of fire. He said: ‘I revenged Mehmedalija. I killed four’,” Kalem said, adding that he saw the bodies of the killed people through a window later on.
 
Witness Sacir Kalem told the Court that his nephew Sedzad Kalem told him that Izet Hujic, known as Maca, had killed the Milosevic neighbours.
 
Sedzad and Sacir Kalem also said that they did not see indictee Sadikovic at the time when the Milosevic family members were killed in Kasatici.
 
The trial is due to continue on February 11.
