Bosnian Serbs Jailed For Wartime Murder Of Muslim Neighbors
Mile Zgonjanin was sentenced to four years and Nikica Zgonjanin to three years in prison for the killing in October 1992, an official of the Banja Luka district court said.
The victims, two of whom were women, were Zgonjanin's neighbors in the northwestern town of Novi Grad, also known as Bosanski Novi.
The pair of Serbs were accused of tying their victims up with wire, pouring gasoline over them and then setting them on fire, before eventually shooting them dead, the official said.
Bosnia's 1992-1995 war claimed at least 100,000 lives, while some 2.2 million people, or about half of the country's population was forced to flee their homes.
