Well when the red tape and nonsense they go through for justice its hardly surprising monsters like this escape just naturally.With a bit of luck Saddem Insane wont get away with it the same way

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

Since its true could a mod remove the question mark, and also add capitals in his name. it looks messy

Good riddance I say, although I think they should have tortured him a bit while they had him in custody.:D

Who's to say they didn't....

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I bet the lawyers are weeping in to thier cornflakes now the gravy train has come to an end. :rolleyes:

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

I'm not at all bothered that this piece of human waste is dead. It's just a shame that it took so long. At least now it's not costing money to keep him safe from the people that hate him.

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

What red tape and nonsense? Courts and judges? I'm slightly annoyed we won't see Bill Clinton appearing as a defence witness, but it's one fewer oxygen thief, which puts a smile on my face.

Why? He's not an innocent Muslim, is he? Anyway, isn't this rather the point of bringing torturers to justice - justice, rather than torture, should be seen as the way forward.

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

Why do you ask? Do you think innocent muslims should be tortured?
Are you suggesting that Injuneer thinks that innocent muslims should be tortured?

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

It should not take so dam long. These trails take the ****, they last years it is a complete slap in the face to human rights

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

I see the BBC now have an expanded 3 column headline (you know the sort) - does he really warrant that amount of space?

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

Its a big news story

Stop it Xaccers! :nono: You know BBKing better than that:)

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

I hope this thread is not going to be as aggressive as others we have seen..I think people are allowed to have an opinion.I may not agree entirely with the way some of us express ourselves but I won't be jumping down everyone's throats because of it.

Just because someone says that they would like someone to be tortured doesn't mean that in reality they expect it.It's just them expressing how awful they found this man's crimes to be.In reality I suspect not one of us would indulge in torture or want it to occur in our names.However this is not something that Milosovic would have thought twice about in my opinion.

I'm sure that everyone wanted this man to be found guilty and punished according to international law because we are much better people than those who are presently being prosecuted in the Hague.

I'm finding it amusing the way newsreaders on tv and radio are adopting pathetic Serb accents when pronouncing his name. I've heard SluhBodon, Slobeedan, Slu-berdon etc etc

:tu: Too Bl**dy true. just look at the farcicle way the Saddam trial is going!

Dutch tv says leprosy drugs were found in this system

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

And their documented proof of this is..........?

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

Apparently, (according to Dutch radio) traces of drugs for Leprosy and TBC which neutralise the drugs he was taking for hypertension and heart problems were found in his blood in January. Blood tests were done as his regular medication was not effective. This has been confirmed by a tribunal spokesman. If this is true (and it is treated as a very real possibility), it suggest he was either killed or committed suicide. The post mortem will include a toxicological investigation.

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

And how are they going to prove suicide? His supported will claim murder no matter what evidence is provided. If they were trying to kill him then I can think of quicker/ easier ways to kill someone with blood pressure and heart problems.

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

I'm just stating the facts as they are reported on the Dutch news. The facts certainly sound very suspicious, suicide is a possibility precisely because it would be such an odd way to kill someone. But then again, it's not very easy to kill someone in a high security prison...

Good i'm happy the man's dead by he forever burn in hell

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

These claims are apparently from a letter Slobbers wrote the day before he died. How convenient. I'm sure it's just a ruse to try and throw suspicion on his death - no doubt to see if they can raise some hullabaloo back in Serbia. Sure that wouldn't be too difficult.

It also seems his family are arguing over where he should be buried. His wife wants him buried in Russia, where she's hiding from international law, and his brother wants a state funeral, no less, in Serbia.

Personally, I think they should dig a shallow grave in a remote valley and dump him there.

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

These claims have been confirmed by a tribunal spokesperson and the toxicologist that was in charge of the blood tests. Apparently, Milosevic was also refusing to take his medication at some point, and it was therefore checked that he did take them. It wouldn't surprise me if he was purposely taking the drugs (Rifampicin according to Dutch media) that neutralised his medication so he could claim he was being poisoned/murdered. Make a martyr out of himself and stop the trial from coming to a conclusion and get convicted. Nice...

According to the newspaper Volkskrant, Dr. Uger, the toxicologist suspects that Milosovic was taking the drug to support his claim that Dutch doctors were unable to treat his condition. He had put in a request to travel to Russia to see doctors there, but this reguest was turned down by the tribunal. An elaborate escape plan? Or was he trying to see his wife who is hiding in Russia?

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

So did he kill himself on purpose or was he just trying to go to russia?

Re: slobodan milosevic dead?
 

Both are possibilities, as is murder. The drug was found in his blood. How it got it there is speculation.
