Kesic, one of the oldest witnesses of the UN tribunal, described how in October 1991 members of Martic's police units abducted Croats from Hrvatska Dubica who were later executed in the village of Bacin.
She said that three members of the militia of the so-called Serb Autonomous District (SAO) of Krajina, whom she identified as Veljo Radovanovic, Radovan aka Sosa and Janje, in October 1991 came to take her and her daughter-in-law Katarina "to a meeting".
They were told to get in a truck that was parked in front of their house. Nine Croat neighbours were already waiting in the truck. They were taken to the local fire station, from where she and her daughter-in-law were taken by their neighbour Glisa Obrenovic, who returned them to their house and warned them not to leave it.
"As we were leaving the fire station, we saw a bus full of civilians from the village of Doljani arriving," the witness said.
The witness went on to say that her daughter-in-law died in 1993, after which she moved to her relatives in Sisak with the help of her Serb neighbours and UN forces.
She learned in Sisak that the civilians imprisoned in the fire station in Hrvatska Dubica were later executed in the nearby village of Bacin, where under the indictment some 110 Croat civilians were killed in October 1991.
In 1997 the victims were exhumed from a mass grave in Bacin. The witness said that upon her return to Hrvatska Dubica in 1995 she saw only plundered and destroyed houses.
Prosecutor Marks Moore will call another witness on Wednesday.
The 60-year-old Martic is charged with 19 counts of crimes against humanity and violations of the laws and customs of war committed against Croat civilians in Croatia's formerly occupied areas and non-Serbs in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1994, as well as with the shelling of Zagreb on May 1995.
