Exhumed man and woman possible victims from Sellotape case

OSIJEK, Feb 14 (Hina) - The spokesman for the Osijek County Court, Miroslav Rozac, said on Wednesday that a man and a woman exhumed from the Osijek Central Cemetery on 22 December might be linked with a 1991 war crimes case.
OSIJEK, Feb 14 (Hina) - The spokesman for the Osijek County Court, Miroslav Rozac, said on Wednesday that a man and a woman exhumed from the Osijek Central Cemetery on 22 December might be linked with a 1991 war crimes case.

An additional forensic investigation established that according to a manner in which they had been killed the exhumed man and woman may have been two of the victims killed by the Drava River bank in Osijek in late 1991, which the media and the judiciary refer to as the Sellotape case.

Two days ago the court spokesman said that the results of an autopsy carried out in Zagreb, where the corpses had been transferred after the exhumation, showed that they could not be linked with the said case.

The spokesman then added that the bodies exhumed on 22 December were not on the list of persons who went missing in the war and nobody had ever reported their disappearance.

In the Sellotape case, 10 victims were killed and one who survived the execution now lives in Serbia. It was established that of the ten dead persons two have not yet been identified.

Seven people, including independent member of parliament Branimir Glavas, are suspected of involvement in war crimes against several Serb civilians by the Drava River.

An investigation into the Sellotape case resumed on Wednesday before the Osijek County Court after it was suspended on 20 December when Glavas was declared unfit to follow the proceedings.

Glavas's lawyer Marko Dumancic told reporters that none of the six witnesses who were questioned by Investigating Judge Mario Kovac earlier in the day had accused his client.

According to the lawyer, about 100 prosecution witnesses have been interviewed so far and none blamed Glavas for the said case. The defence team is going to propose the questioning of a score of witnesses.

Judge Kovac will soon schedule a new investigative hearing
