Bosnian Serb Ex-Fighter Appeals Murder, Rape Conviction

Sasa Cvetkovic's defence on Monday launched an appeal at the Bosnian state court against the verdict that convicted the wartime fighter of killing two elderly Roma women in May 1992 and raping two Bosniaks, one of them a minor, in June 1992.

The defence called for a retrial or for a reduction in Cvetkovic's 12-year sentence, which was handed down in March this year.
