A panel of EULEX judges at the District Court of Mitrovicë/Mitrovica today acquitted D.O. of the charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm to T.O.

The panel found that D.O. was not guilty since it was not proven that he hit the victim on the head with a blunt and heavy object on 20 September 2009 causing his death later in the hospital.

An appeal against the verdict was announced by the legal representative of the injured party.
