The former chief of security at the main headquarters of the Bosnian Serb Army, Ljubisa Beara, has died in a German prison where he was serving a life term for the 1995 Srebrenica genocide.

At a Srebrenica genocide trial, a prosecution witness said he transported Bosniak men from a stadium in Kasaba to a community centre in Pileca, where hundreds were later killed.

A defence witness said former policeman Ivica Cutura, who is on trial for the murders, inhumane treatment and unlawful detention of Bosniak civilians, had helped him and could not be guilty.
