Serbian police arrested five persons Thursday night suspected of having committed war crimes against civilians in eastern Bosnia.

In an interview with Beta news agency, War Crimes Prosecution Spokesperson Bruno Vekaric said that there is a reasonable suspicion that the arrested had killed at least 23 Roma civilians on 11 July, 1992.

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.
