Tomic and Josic: A Good Man

Tomic i Josic
Tomic i Josic

08 December 2009  

Two witnesses testifying for the Defence of indictee Ljubo Tomic say they used to see the indictee in Malesici village, Zvornik Municipality, at the end of June 1992, adding that nobody left the village at that time.

 

Witness Zoran Josic said he knew indictee Ljubo Tomic, also saying he saw him "for three days before and after the St. Vitus Day (June 28)" in 1992.

"He was present in Malesici. The other residents were there as well, as we guarded the village. Ljubo Tomic did not differ from the other residents. He stood guard," Josic said, adding that he "does not know anything about the murder in Marhosi forest" or that some remains were found there.

The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina charges Ljubo Tomic and Krsto Josic, as members of the Republika Srpska Army, with having "shot at three Bosniak civilians and deprived them of their lives" in Marhosi forest, in the vicinity of Kozluk, in Zvornik Municipality, on June 26, 1992.

"Ljubo Tomic was a member of some unit from Zvornik, I do not know which. A couple of people from the village were also members of a unit from Zvornik, and they were present in the village before and after St Vitus Day," witness Josic said, adding that indictee Tomic was "a good man, who never expressed animosity to people belonging to other ethnic groups".

Second Defence witness Cvijan Tomic said he used to see indictee Ljubo Tomic, who was his relative and lived in the same hamlet of Tomici, in Malesici village, Zvornik Municipality, around St Vitus Day in 1992.

"At the beginning of the war I was in Tomici. Us, the village residents, got together to see how we could protect ourselves. We guarded our houses and the area. We did not know who was our boss. Later on, some time in July or August, a unit was formed. We heard that people left Kozluk, but being village people, we did not know anything about it. We were attached to our houses. Nobody left the village," witness Tomic said.

The witness said that indictee Ljubo Tomic "did not wear a uniform and did not carry any weapons" in June 1992.

The trial is due to continue on December 16.
