Ratko Mladić, ex-Bosnian Serb chief, ‘Butcher of Bosnia’, dies at 84

The dead from Srebrenica were ‌bulldozed into mass graves over four days in July 1995, some of them dug up and relocated to remote mountains so as to hide evidence of the killings.

The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) convicted Mladic of crimes it labelled as some of the "most heinous" in human history.

Mr. Mladic was captured on May 26, 2011, in a farming village north of Belgrade, Serbia’s capital, after almost 16 years as a fugitive, ending one of the longest manhunts in modern history.

He was serving a life sentence for his role in the Bosnian War, when he led forces that pounded Sarajevo and carried out the Srebrenica massacre.
