Trial chamber chair Enes Malicbegovic said the Supreme Court of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina repealed a verdict which sentenced Dedic to six years in prison and ordered a retrial.
In the beginning of October 2014, the cantonal court of Zenica found Dedic, a former police officer in Breza, guilty of having participated in the search of houses and the arrest of Serb civilians in Duzice on June 10, 1992. Dedic allegedly beat the civilians at a police station with other police officers. Two of the civilians died, while three received severe injuries.
The Supreme Court repealed the verdict last month. It returned the case to the cantonal court of Zenica due to “obscurities in Mico Subotic’s testimony.”
Malicbegovic said Subotic would be invited to testify again on December 10.
