When he left home, he kept saying something like he couldn’t wait for them to come back. He didn’t come home all night. I was worried about him and thought maybe he had gone into hiding. I let the sheep out to pasture in the morning and soon afterwards noticed that they had gathered under an apple tree. When I got close I saw my husband Himzo hanging from a branch. I was beside myself and don’t know how I managed to call the neighbors. I know Ismet Osmanagić was the first to come. He cut the rope and got my husband down.

The beating of Jakub Durgut Jakub Durgut (born 1959) was grazing his sheep near his home in Ograde on 1 November when police from Pljevlja arrived. Among them Durgut recognized Goran Zindović, who said he was the patrol leader and that he had a warrant to search the house. Zindović added that the police had received a tip that Durgut was hiding a rifle in his house. Things were tense from the start so I wasn’t able to tell exactly how many police there were. I said right away that I didn’t have any guns. But they attacked me and started beating me - punching and kicking me and hitting me with rifle butts. I think the policeman whose last name is Šubarić was the worst. He took a grenade from his pocket and threatened to put it in my mouth. I fell down after the first few blows. They kept using the worst swear words and asking things like what did we need weapons for. 65 Durgut told the HLC that Šubarić ripped a gold chain from his neck as he was beating him. After tormenting him for half an hour, the police led him in the direction of Pljevlja. They had traversed only some 200 meters when they met Radenko Danilović, a police reservist who was Durgut’s school friend. Danilović succeeded in persuading the police to let Durgut go, saying he knew he was a good man and had no weapons. 5.5.3.
