The witness, Semsudin Spahic, former member of the Reconnaissance Platoon of the Seventh Muslim Brigade of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, said he heard that during the conflict between the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatian Defence Council there was a murder of soldiers and civilians in Poculice, but that he did not know who did it.
“Those are just stories, so I would not know anything about it,” Spahic said.
He said he knew Coloman from passing. He knew that he was a member of the Seventh Muslim Briagde, but he was not in his platoon and they were never together in the battlefield.
The state prosecution charged Coloman, as a member of the Saboteur Platoon of the Seventh Muslim Brigade of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with coming armed on April 24, 1993, in front of the Home in Poculice where Croat civilians were held, and opening a burst of fire from an automatic weapon, killing three persons and wounding nine.
The trial will resume on October 24.
