Goran Mrdja was sentenced to 14 years in prison, while the other defendants -- Mile Kokot and Milorad Mrdja to 10 and 8 years respectively. The other defendant, Ranko Mrdja, was found innocent.
Almaz Ceric, daughter of one of the victims, said that Milo Kokot was sentenced to ten years.
“He killed him (her father) in front of me, it happened before my eyes,” said Ceric.
The trial began in April 2015.
