A war criminal who commanded forces in the Bosnian conflict of the early 1990s has died after drinking a vial of what he called poison in court, as he was told his 20-year prison sentence would be upheld.
The death of Slobodan Praljak, a Bosnian Croat military leader, was announced by Croatian state TV, according to the Press Association.
The 72-year-old was convicted four years ago for war crimes in East Mostar during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War.
He was in a United Nations court in The Hague on Wednesday trying to appeal the 2013 sentence.
