ZAGREB, May 31 (Hina) - The panel of judges at the Zagreb County
Court on Monday acquitted four parties and sentenced two in the
trial of six reserve policemen accused in the "Pakrac Field" case.
Miroslav Bajramovic was found guilty of extortion and was sentenced
to 20 months in prison. Given that the sentence includes the time
spent in detention, Bajramovic was set free.
In November 1991, Bajramovic entered the flat of Stevan Brajenovic,
and under armed threat took the latter's gun, a bag with documents,
DM9,700, and car.
Branko Saric was sentenced to 12 months in prison. He was found
guilty of illegally arresting Stevan Brajenovic. Saric's sentence
includes four months spent in detention.
After being arrested, Brajenovic was brought to the Pakrac field
and given over to Saric, commander of a local reserve police. Saric
kept Brajenovic locked in a room for four days, where guards tied
him up, beat and subjected him to threats with murder and torture.
Munib Suljic, Igor Mikola, and Sinisa Rimac were acquitted on
murder charges related to the murder of Aleksandar Antic Sasa in the
Pakrac field. The verdict says the victim's body has never been
found, and that neither the time nor the method of death, nor other
circumstances surrounding the murder, have been indisputably
established.
Zoran Karlovic was acquitted of the attempted murder of Brajenovic
while the latter was trying to escape. Brajenovic did not recognise
Karlovic as the person who had shot at him.
Mikola, Bajramovic, and Saric were acquitted of abducting from a
construction site in October 1991 three men and taking them to the
Pakrac field where they were later killed by unknown persons.
Zagreb County deputy state attorney Ivan Plevko announced a
complaint on the court's decision.
