From Times Wire Reports
A Croatian Serb convicted of ethnic cleansing after leading a brutal revolt during the Balkan wars committed suicide in prison, the U.N. tribunal said.
Milan Babic’s suicide came three weeks after he reaffirmed his remorse for his crimes, telling a tribunal that his guilt was a “pain that I have to live with for the rest of my life.”
Prosecutors had put Babic on the stand for three weeks of testimony against former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic in 2002, and they had planned to call him in other cases.
