Humanitarian Law Centerinsist on the prosecutor to go with me and I did not object when he toldme he was not able to go. I conducted the investigation into this case andinformed the prosecutor also by phone.I want to mention that on this occasion I told the prosecutor that I found aterrible scene there, which upset me a lot.That was the time of the bombing and the court had been dislocated. Everybodywas running away and it was usually me who stayed in the court.It was a difficult situation with the lawyers as well, because they were allaway looking for shelter.After some time, maybe one month or more, I cannot recall it anymore, Iwas informed that the perpetrator of this crime was found. I think that operativepolice officers from, I think, Republic Secretariat of Interior informedme of this. I did not see them at all. They just called me on the phone andtold me that these persons were in detention. Actually, they said they hadtwo people in detention. I cannot remember whether I had the investigationorder before I went to interrogate the defendants or not. The investigationorder was, of course, made, but I cannot remember whether it wasbefore or after I interrogated the defendants. I received the criminal complaintfrom the court’s clerical office. I informed Prosecutor Miroslav Nikolićby phone that I needed to examine the defendants and he told me to goand interrogate them myself and that he would join me later on. He was illat the time and I think he stayed at home in bed. The interrogation had tobe organised in the District Prison because the court was dislocated at thetime and there was nobody in the court so, neither a trial nor interrogationcould have been organised in the court building.As I have already explained, before I went to prison I tried to reach someof the attorneys to be present during the interrogation, but I could not findany of them. Accidentally, I found attorney Dragutin Stanković. This attorneywas about to run away from his office when I told him, ‘Please, do notrun! Come with me should the defendant accept you as his defence attorney’.That attorney was of weak health and he told me he would do itonly because of me because I told him what the case was. He said he hada heart disease and he did not feel well, but he agreed to do it because of230
