  GrahamClayton: "Documents the police and State Attorney's Office have in their possession indicate that the victims of the murders on the Osijek banks of the Drava River were not "Serbian snipers", "infiltrators" or "spies", but rather that many of the city's inhabitants at the time came to harm only because they were of Serbian nationality, and some of them – by mistake. An example of that is Bogdan Pocuca, the brother of Osijek's former Communist party chief Janko Pocuca. In the wake of rumours that he was on a secret liquidation list and on the "advice" of some people to leave town, Janko Pocuca in the autumn of 1991 left Osijek in secret and moved to Porec.

His brother Bogdan, however, who had nothing to do with politics and worked as a printmaker in the local Stampa Company, the publisher of the Glas Slavonije newspaper, remained in Osijek and in December moved into his brother Janko's house, who had already left for Porec. Uniformed soldiers came for him one day at the end of December and on 7 January 1992 the corpse of Bogdan Pocuca was found on the banks of the Drava River."
