Officers from the Bosnian State Investigation and Protection Agency on Wednesday arrested Coloman, a former member of the Reconnaissance Squad of the Bosnian Army’s 7th Muslim Brigade.

Coloman is suspected of going with another Bosnian Army soldier to the local community centre in the village of Poculica, where Croat civilians were imprisoned, and firing several shots through a closed door, killing three Croats and wounding nine other people on April 24, 1993.

He will be handed over to the Bosnian prosecution, which will decide whether to remand him in custody after he is interrogated.
