Victims’ Remains Found in Three Graves

Court expert Rifat Kesetovic said that it was determined through a DNA analysis that, in some cases, various body parts of one victim were found in three different graves.

As he said, the remains of 815 victims were found in these graves. According to the court expert, the identity of 803 victims is known, but this was an unofficial piece of information, as he said. He specified that, officially, 732 victims have been identified.

Kesetovic presented these conclusions at the trial of Ostoja Stanisic and Marko Milosevic, who are charged with murders of about 1,000 Srebrenica residents committed on the dam, near Petkovci, in mid-July 1995.

According to the charges, Stanisic was Commander of the Sixth Battalion with the Zvornik Brigade of the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, while Milosevic was his Deputy. The indictment alleges that the Battalion Command was situated in Petkovci.

The examination of court expert Kesetovic is due to be continued on December 17.
