Gotovina et al Judgement Volume I - ICTY

39195Ivan. 823 According to a report of the Zagreb Institute for Forensic Medicine, dated 5October 2004 and based on details provided by Stevo’s brother Ðuro Vujnović, StevoVujnović, a Serb and son of Ivan, died on 25 August 1995. 824 The Chamber considersthat the date of birth set out in exhibit P2004 is not the actual date of birth but merelyindicates that this information was unknown to the drafter of the document, also sinceJovan Vujinović testified that Stevo was born in 1939.226. Based on the evidence received, the Trial Chamber finds that Marta Vujnović,mother of Jovan Vujinović, was killed by gunshots to her head between 11:15 a.m. and4 p.m. on or about 18 August 1995 in Oton Polje in Ervenik municipality. The TrialChamber notes that Jovan Vujinović’s and Petar Knežević’s descriptions of where thebody of Marta Vujnović was found differ slightly. The Trial Chamber relies in thisrespect on the more detailed testimony of Jovan Vujinović, whose evidence, as opposedto Petar Knežević’s, was also subject to cross-examination and direct credibilityanalysis. On or about 18 August 1995, a large number of persons described as soldiers,driving military vehicles with HV number plates, were present in Oton Polje, some ofwhom used a building at the railway stop for accommodation. These persons called thewitness “Chetnik”. Based on the above, the Trial Chamber finds that members ofCroatian military forces were present in the village of Oton Polje on or about 18 August1995.227. Petro Romassev stated that Jovan Vujinović had told him that on 18 August1995, ten Croatian soldiers came to his house, after which he left, and when he returned,the Croatian soldiers told him that they had killed his mother. Jovan Vujinović testifiedthat he did not talk about the death of his mother with the soldiers in the village. TheTrial Chamber considers that this is not necessarily contradictory as the soldiers mayhave told Jovan Vujinović about having killed his mother without any further discussiontaking place. Further considering the presence of a large number of members ofCroatian military forces in Oton Polje on the day that Marta Vujnović was killed bygunshots, as established above, the Trial Chamber finds that members of Croatianmilitary forces shot Marta Vujnović, thereby killing her. Considering that both JovanVujinović and Petar Knežević referred to Oton Polje as a Serb village, which is notcontradicted by the 1991 Census, the Trial Chamber finds that Marta Vujnović was of823 P2004 (List of identified persons whose mortal remains were exhumed at the Novo Groblje cemeteryin Knin, and in Gračac and Korenica).120Case No.: IT-06-90-T 15 April 2011 `
