Srecko Boskovic, a former member of the Bosnian Serb Army, is charged with murdering a boy in July 1995, while Serb soldiers were killing Bosniaks after the fall of Srebrenica (their bodies were buried on the Red Dam plateau afterwards). Boskovic allegedly told the boy that he was free to leave, and then shot him with an automatic gun.
Milisav Mirkovic, a former member of the Logistics Squad with the Sixth Battalion of the Bosnian Serb Army, said prisoners were brought to a new school building in Petkovci. He said he found out later on that the prisoners were from Srebrenica.
According to Mirkovic, the prisoners were accommodated in two classrooms on the first floor of the school building. He also saw uniformed soldiers with hats and kerchiefs escorting them.
Mirkovic said he left the vicinity of the school building and heard shooting two hours later. He said the shooting came from the direction of the school, but he couldn’t see who was shooting.
Mirkovic said he saw up to fifteen bodies in front of a shed near the school building. He said he found out later on from the media that the prisoners from the school were shot at a dam five or six kilometers away.
Mirkovic said that he didn’t know Boskovic.
The trial will continue on March 20.
