They electrocuted me in the head, then in my wound. The beating....look at my teeth, my head, legs and arms. It was all done by Tuta and Stela soldiers."

STORYLINE:
Bosnians were preparing on Sunday to lay to rest the first identified victims of Europe's worst civilian massacre since World War II.
The remains of six hundred Muslim men and boys slaughtered by the Bosnian Serbs in July 1995 will be buried on Monday in a newly established graveyard in Potocari, a village next to Srebrenica where the town's men were last seen by their families.
The coffins were being prepared on Sunday in morgues in Visoko and in Tuzla.
The leader of the Bosnian Islamic community, Reis Mustafa Ceric, visited the Visoko morgue on Sunday to pray for the dead. He was to lead the funeral service on Monday.
The victims had sought protection in the United Nations (UN) compound in Potocari, but the vastly outnumbered and lightly armed Dutch UN peacekeepers in charge of the area were no match for the Serb forces intent on purging the town of its Muslims.
More than five thousand bodies have since been exhumed from mass graves.
According to the Red Cross more than 13-hundred people are still unaccounted for.
The 600 sets of remains to be reburied on Monday were identified using DNA analysis.
Meanwhile, a verdict is expected at the Hague war crimes tribunal on Monday in the case of two Bosnian Croats accused of leading a campaign of killings, torture and mass expulsions of Muslims in the city of Mostar in 1993-94.
