LIVNO, April 3 (Hina) - Three Serb returnees to the village of
Gubin, some 30 kilometres of Livno (western Bosnia-Herzegovina),
found dead in a family house Saturday morning, died of carbon-
monoxide poisoning caused by the clogging of a chimney, read
results of an autopsy conducted in Livno Sunday by a forensic crew
from Sarajevo.
All three dead persons were of the Serb nationality, Herzeg-Bosna
cantonal police reported.
Those were elderly people - Bogoljub Pajcic, Nedo Jovicic and
Bosiljka Pajcin - all over 60.
The fourth person found in the house, Jovan Pajcin (born in 1947)
was taken first to a local hospital in Livno and later to a hospital
in the Croatian southern coastal city of Split, where he was kept
for treatment.
Local police and investigating judge Bozo Mihajlovic told Hina
Sunday evening that the space the victims lived in was
inappropriate, with no ventilation nor air circulation. Given that
the chimney was clogged, and that the residents continued to use it,
carbon monoxide, gas without taste, color or sent, was created
which put the returnees asleep and caused death, Mihajlovic said.
He stressed that none of the victims had marks of violence, and
added that the International Police Task Force expressed
satisfaction with the conducted investigation of the case.
