Vekaric pointed out that while the five connected to the case are in custody, the sixth and last suspect is already serving his sentence in a jail.
The identities of the five arrested remain undisclosed.
As specified in the Prosecution’s statement, the victims were first imprisoned and then physically and mentally tortured. The women were raped, men were forced to have homosexual intercourse, while a granddaughter and her grandfather were forced to have oral sex.
The statement also reports that three women were taken to the villages of Malesic, Petkovci and Drinjaca where they were kept at home, while at least 22 civilians were taken to the pits in the village Hamzic where they were killed.
