(31 May 2011) Jailed war crimes suspect Ratko Mladic visited the grave of his daughter on Tuesday amid heavy security outside the Belgrade prison where he has been kept since his arrest last week.
Serbia's deputy war crimes prosecutor said that officials allowed Mladic to leave his jail cell to make the early morning visit.
Two police vans were seen leaving the prison, one believed to be carrying Mladic to the cemetery.
A convoy of vehicles was later seen returning to the jail, as nearby roads were cordoned off and armed men stood guard in the street outside the detention centre.
Mladic's daughter Ana committed suicide in 1994 at the age of 23 with her father's pistol.
Media reports at the time said she did it because of depression caused by her father's role in the war.
The former Bosnian Serb general has always claimed she was killed by his wartime enemies.
Candles and a bouquet of flowers were seen left at the grave site after Mladic's visit on Tuesday.
Mladic is awaiting extradition to the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands.
He was arrested last Thursday in a village north of Belgrade after 16 years on the run.
Mladic is charged by the tribunal for atrocities committed by his Serb troops during Bosnia's 1992-95 war.
