With the assistance of the Red Cross, the Bekans were in August 1996 transferred to Sarajevo where they stayed with relatives. When Huso died two months later at the age of 75, Hajra moved in with her son Mirsad in Goražde. 9. Epilogue The villages of Bukovica remain deserted to this day. The houses - looted, damaged or torched - are uninhabitable. Another reason why people are not returning is the fact that although there were six murders only one man, Majoš Vrećo, has ever been charged and tried. Džafer Djogo (born 1936), an employee of the local forestry company, was killed at Piperi village on 16 June 1993. His body, covered with branches and leaves, was found near the village road. The investigation brought out that Majoš Vrećo stopped Djogo, ordered him to lie down on the ground and shot him three times in the head. Dragomir Krvavac (36), a native of Rosulje village in Pljevlja municipality and a refugee from Sarajevo who was present when Djogo was killed, was arrested together with Vrećo. Pljevlja Police Chief Radivoje Aranitović said the killer was probably returning from the front-line in the Republika Srpska and that he was intoxicated when he committed the crime. Vrećo (37), a native of Leovo Brdo near Pljevlja and a resident of Čajniče, was found guilty and sentenced to 14 years in prison; Krvavac was acquitted. In November 2002, the HLC learned at the Montenegrin Supreme Court that Majoš Vrećo was first sentenced to four and a half years by the Municipal Court in Belo Polje and that the term was subsequently increased to 14 years by the Bijelo Polje High Court. The sentence became final on 7 November 1994. Vrećo was in the

The Republika Srpska president reduced his term by 10 months 24 days on 30 December 1998 (Glasnik Republike Srpske, No. 40, 1998), and the Montenegrin president by a further two years, one month, 20 days on 12 December 2001 (Službeni list RCG, No. 57/2000). Vrećo is due to be released on 17 November 2004. 97 Memorial plaque at the scene of Džafer Djogo’s murder Jakub Durgut told the HLC that Džaka Bijela, a 70-year-old woman from Hromac village, disappeared in June 1995.
