39182Čanak about the weapons before he shot him. The Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber notes in this regardthat the District Court in Zadar convicted P<strong>et</strong>rić on 27 May 1997 of the murder of ðuradČanak and that there is no indication in the evidence that this judgement in respect ofP<strong>et</strong>rić did not become fin<strong>al</strong> under Croatian law. On the basis of P1076 and the evidenceof Perković, the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber finds that Ivica P<strong>et</strong>rić was a member of the HV 15thHome Guard Regiment, 2nd Batt<strong>al</strong>ion, 2nd Company, and was engaged in mop-upoperations in the area of Zrmanja on the day he killed ðurad Čanak. Based on a numberof similarities, the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber considers that UNCIVPOL’s incident report of 6September 1995 in relation to the shooting of ðuro Canak relates to the same incident.According to this report, Dušan Suica, who was <strong>al</strong>so from Zrmanja, referred to ÐuradĆanak as a Serb. Based on this evidence, the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber finds that Ðurad Čanak wasa Krajina Serb. The Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber will further consider this incident in relation toCounts 1, 6, and 7 of the Indictment in chapters 5.3.2 and 5.8.2 (b) below.247. The evidence suggests that Vlado Milanović was killed by persons referred to asCroatian soldiers in early August 1995. There is insufficient relevant evidence as towhere, the circumstances under which, and by whom the victim was killed. Under thesecircumstances the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber will not further consider this incident in relation toCounts 1, 6, and 7 of the Indictment.Milan Marč<strong>et</strong>ić and Dušan Šuica (Further Clarification nos 27-28)248. The Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber has received relevant evidence with regard to the <strong>al</strong>legedmurder of Milan Marč<strong>et</strong>ić and Dušan Šuica primarily through the testimonies of P<strong>et</strong>erMarti and Maria Teresa Mauro as well as HRAT and UNCIVPOL reports.249.
