On this day, July 17, in Trnovo, members of the infamous Serbian unit “Scorpions” killed six Bosniaks from Srebrenica, the youngest of whom was 16 and the oldest 36, with shots in the back 31 years ago.
Safet Fejzić (17), Azmir Alispahić (16), Sidik Salkić (36), Smail Ibrahimović (35), Dino Salihović (18) and Juso Delić (25) were killed.
The crime against six Bosniak civilians was recorded on camera by members of the “Scorpion”. During the trial of Slobodan Milošević in 2005, a recording of the shooting was published, after which it went around the world.
The video shows several members of the Scorpion, some of whom have red berets on their heads, taking six tied civilians out of the truck. With derogatory words and insults, they then lead them into the forest, and then in the clearing, they kill four of them from behind with individual shots and volleys.
The perpetrators then shot the victims on the ground in the head from close range. The remaining two prisoners were forced to carry the bodies, and then the ‘Scorpions’ also killed them in a nearby semi-destroyed house.
The commander of the “Scorpions” Slobodan Medić Boca was sentenced to 20 years in prison, and his brother Branislav Medić to 15 years. Petar Petrašević, who pleaded guilty, was sentenced to 13 years in prison. Milorad Momić was sentenced to 15 years in prison in Croatia, as was Slobodan Davidović.
In 2014, Slobodan Medić died with his entire family in a car accident in Serbia, during a free weekend on which he was released from serving his sentence.
