Two other former Bosnian Army soldiers, Samir Kesmer and Mirsad Menzilovic, were arrested in the Sarajevo area on Wednesday on suspicion that they committed the same crimes.

They are accused of committing multiple sexual assaults and raped the under-age Serb girl who was living in a part of Sarajevo which was under the control of the Bosnian Army.

The latest suspect will be questioned by prosecutors, who will then decide how to progress with the case.
