The appeals chamber of the Bosnian state court has upheld the verdict convicting Radomir Susnjar of involvement in wartime crimes in the Visegrad area in June 1992, including the murder of 26 civilians - one of them a two-day-old baby - who were locked inside a house that was then burned.

Lawyers for Radomir Susnjar appealed to the Bosnian state court's appeals chamber on Tuesday against the verdict sentencing him to 20 years in prison for wartime crimes in Visegrad in June 1992, including the murders of 26 civilians - one of them a two-day-old baby - who were locked inside a house that was then burned.

Radomir Susnjar told the Bosnian state court on Thursday that he felt pity for the victims, but did not participate in the murder of 57 civilians in a house in Pionirska Street in Visegrad in June 1992.

"I do not feel guilty, because I am not the person who did that," said ex-fighter Susnjar.
