The prosecution said on Monday that it had charged Jasmin Coloman, a former member of the Reconnaissance Squad of the Bosnian Army’s Seventh Muslim Brigade, attacked Croat civilians who were being detained at the Youth Centre in the village of Poculice near Vitez in central Bosnia on April 24, 1993.
“When the facility guard refused to unlock the door and let the indictee enter the building, he opened fire from an automatic gun through the closed door. Three Croats were killed and nine wounded in that shooting,” the prosecution said.
Coloman was arrested on June 25 and the court remanded him in custody for a month due to the possibility that he might flee and influence witnesses or accomplices.
The indictment has been forwarded to the Bosnian state court for confirmation.
