Ratko Mladic, 'Butcher of Bosnia', dies

Ratko Mladic, a former Bosnian Serb general, has died in a detention centre in The Hague, Netherlands, at the age of 83. He had been imprisoned since 2011 and his health had been fragile for several years. Mladic was known as the "Butcher of Bosnia" for his role in the Balkan war and was serving a life sentence for his part in the Srebrenica genocide, a sentence he received in November 2017.
