He asked me to give him oralpleasure and my reply was I was not homosexual but heterosexual and Iwould gladly pay to someone to please him orally. Hearing that he snapped,pulled my hair, dragged me on the floor and took me to a third officewhere he probably wanted to attack me physically. However, some thirdinspector, Ljubisa Jovanovic, rushed in, pushed him away and said: “Tomo,it’s not right, stop it that was enough”. Tomislav Lendvai was telling me mycorpse would float in the Sava or the Danube, my trainers would hang onsome post, he would sit at the table in a café and there would be two, threepeople next to me, he would be leaned against his elbows, his arms underhis chin and he would watch me being beaten and maltreated and I wouldnot be able to defend myself as he was an inspector and so on.
