A Bosnian Serb prison camp commander who murdered and tortured Muslim prisoners by beating them with axe handles and metal pipes in the Bosnian war was jailed for 23 years by The Hague war crimes tribunal today.
Dragan Nikolic, the former commander of Susica detention camp in eastern Bosnia, pleaded guilty in September to persecution, murder, torture and allowing guards and soldiers to rape and sexually assault women at the camp in 1992.
