pertaining to events on 9 April 1993, signed by Radojica Božović as unit commander and
Zvezdan Jovanović as deputy commander of the unit at Skelani, Major Ilić, the Commander
of the Skelani Independent Battalion/TO, informed them that their line of defence in Karačići
had been broken. Jovanović then took ten men to “mop up” the terrain, and, in a coordinated
action with a group brought by Božović, they managed to push “the Muslims” back from this
sector. The statement further provided that it was during this operation that the mutilated
bodies of Žarko Teofanović and Ljubomir Obradović were found. 3283 In an unsigned and
undated intelligence report on the formation of the Serbian DB JSO, 3284 the names of Žarko
Teofanović and Ljubomir Obradović appear on a list of dead members of the unit. 3285
According to two untitled and undated statements, Žarko Teofanović and Ljubomir Obradović
were killed on 9 April 1993 at the frontline by Muslims. 3286 The documents further note that
Teofanović’s wife Stojanka Teofanović and Obradović’s wife Tina Obradović had been
receiving reservist’s salary and daily allowance payments. 3287 The Trial Chamber has
reviewed multiple payment lists of the Serbian DB (JATD) for the period of 16 July 1994 to
31 December 1995; Stojanka Teofanović and Tina Obradović appear on these lists as
beneficiaries. 3288
