The state court in Sarajevo convicted three former Bosnian Army soldiers of the killings of Croat civilians and soldiers in 1993 and sentenced them to a total of 37 years in prison.
After a trial that lasted nearly five years, the case involving the Bosnian Army attack on the village of Trusina ended. Five former members of the Bosnian Army will receive their verdicts on Tuesday, September 01.
A defense witness testifying at the Dzevad Salcin trial said he never saw injuries on Dragan Vukovic, a former prisoner who Salcin allegedly assaulted.
The state court will hand down a verdict against five former members of the Bosnian Army, whove been charged with war crimes in Trusina, near Konjic, after summer vacation.
Neuropsychiatrist and expert witness Abdulah Kucukalic said the deterioration of Dzevad Salcins mental health could have affected a statement he gave to the Bosnian state prosecution in March 2012.
The Bosnian state court will hand down a verdict in the trial of Mensur Memic, Dzevad Salcin, Senad Hakalovic, Nedzad Hodzic and Nihad Bojadzic on July 13. The defendants have been charged with committing war crimes in the village of Trusina, near Konjic, on July 13, 1993.
Presenting her closing statement in defense of Nihad Bojadzic, defense attorney Edina Residovic said certain witness testimony against her client wasnt trustworthy.
On her fifth day of closing statements, Nihad Bojadzics defense attorney said there was no evidence that indicated her client commanded an attack on the village of Trusina on April 16, 1993.
