Belgrade Appeals Court has reversed the judgment sentencing former Bosnian Serb soldier Milan Dragisic to four years in prison for killing one Bosnian civilian and trying to kill two others in Bosanski Petrovac in western Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992.
This verdict was quashed “due to a material violation of the provisions of the criminal procedure” and the defendant will be retried, said the ruling, which was issued on November 25 and published on the Appeals Court website on Friday.
Dragisic was convicted in April 2019 of killing a male civilian and trying to kill the man’s son and one more person. He was acquitted of two other murders and one attempted murder.
The prosecution claimed at the trial that Dragisic went on a rampage after seeing the dead body of his brother Dragan, who was killed in battle in Bihac in north-west Bosnia.
He pleaded not guilty in June 2015.
