The Trial Panel’s verdict states that on 10 June 1992, armed with a riffle, Serbian war criminal Radmilo Vuković took a Bosnian woman from an apartment in Miljevina, Foča and took her to another apartment in the same municipality.
In the second apartment,Serbian war criminal Radmilo Vukovic physically abused the victim by beating her, threatening to kill her, placing a pistol against her temple and holding a knife to her throat. He then tore the victim’s clothes to pieces and punched her in the head, causing her to lose consciousness and then used the victim’s unconsciousness to rape her.
Serbian war criminal Radmilo Vukovic raped the victim in the same apartment at least five or six times until the end of August 1992.These rapes caused the victim to fall pregnant, resulting in the birth of a child.
The above verdict was appealed by the Bosnian State Prosecutor’s Office and Serbian war criminal's defence counsel.
