The accused Dragan Nešković is charged that on 13th and 14th July 1995, in the warehouse of the farming cooperative Kravica, he ordered two members of the Jahorina Training Centre he knew to deprive the lives of two captured Bosniaks men, which they did. The accused Zoran Ilić is charged that by individual firing of bullets from an automatic weapon at the pile of bodies of previously executed captives, he “verified” whether any of the executed captives survived, and that on 17th July 1995, in the village of Jelah, he summarily executed one captured Bosniak male.
The accused are charged with persecution of Bosniak civilians on political, national, ethnic, cultural and religious grounds by depriving captured Bosniak men of life, forcible transfer of Bosniak civilians, capturing Bosniak men and other inhumane acts, by which they committed the criminal offence of Crimes against Humanity in violation of Article 172(1)(h) of the CC BiH, in conjunction with Article 29 of the CC BiH and 180(1) of the CC BiH.
