Pair convicted over Bosnia killings

A UN war crimes court has sentenced two Bosnian Serb cousins to life and 30 years in jail respectively for burning scores of Muslims to death during the 1992-95 Bosnian war. Milan and Sredoje Lukic were accused of locking up the victims in two houses in the eastern Bosnian town of Visegrad and setting them alight, in a trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague. Milan Lukic was sentenced to life at the court in the Netherlands for killing at least 119 Bosnian Muslims in the two separate incidents which took place in June 1992. His cousin Sredoje received 30 years for aiding and abetting in one of the incidents.
