The baby cried and aSerbian soldier told her that she had to make sure that the baby was quiet. Then thesoldier took the child from the mother and cut its throat. I do not know whetherDutchbat soldiers saw that.There was a sort of fence on the left-hand side of the road to Potočari. I heard then ayoung woman screaming very close by (4 or 5 meters away).

I saw a mother dieon the spot because the Chetniks took her son away from her. It was a very hot day.© Van Diepen Van der Kroef Advocaten 2007www.vandiepen.com104
