He took me into the house and stripped me naked. He started hitting me. I cried and he grabbed my head and hit it against the wall. He took me into the room upstairs and then raped me, said one woman from Babin potok near Visegrad, about what happened to her in June 1992.
The District Court in Eastern Sarajevo orders again the one-month custody for Mladen Markovic, after the Pre-trial Chamber of that Court revoked the original decision the Court has confirmed.
