Bosnian Court convicts Serb for Foča rape
The Bosnia-Herzegovina court in Sarajevo ruled Radmilo Vuković was guilty of war crimes against civilians when as a member of Bosnian Serb armed forces he raped a woman on several occasions.The court reduced the 10-year minimum sentence due to mitigating circumstances. The court noted Vuković and the woman were in a relationship before the Bosnian ethnic war began in 1992.
The woman fled Foča in February 1993 and gave birth to a boy.
A DNA analysis confirmed the boy was fathered by Vuković, but the court banned him from seeing the child, BIRN reports.
The trial began in January and ended last week.
