ACCESSORY TO SLISKO'S ASSASSINATION TAKEN TO INVESTIGATING JUDGE

ZAGREB, April 21 (Hina) - Samir Ivosevic, one of two accomplices of the assassin, James Capau, who killed Vjeko Slisko a month ago, was taken to an investigating judge in Zagreb on Saturday evening. According to the investigating judge, Vinko Mioc, the arrested Mioc will remain in custody and will be interrogated on Sunday morning. Ivosevic is charged with first-grade murder for revenge, under Article 91 of the penal code. The suspect has not yet chosen his defence lawyer. Earlier on Saturday the police said at a press conference they discovered two accessories to the murder of Vjeko Slisko. Besides the arrested Samir Ivosevic (32), the other accomplice is Marko N. after whom an arrest warrant has been issued. The police assume that Marko N. organised the assassination, namely that he hired Capau, who lately included Ivosevic from Cepin (east Croatia). Capau fired a few bullets at Vjeko Slisko in the downtown Zagreb in broad daylight on 22 March. In that showdown, Slisko's bodyguard, Ivica Bertic, then fired a shot at Capau and seriously wounded him. Both Capau and Slisko, who were in a critical condition, were taken to hospital. A few days later they died of wounds. Bertic was subsequently apprehended and is now in custody in Zagreb. Slisko is believed to have been one of bosses in the Zagreb underground. In recent years he survived a few assassination attempts. (hina) ms
