Zenith Chambers prosecute in the attempted murder of war criminal Radislav Krstic

Julian Goose QC and Tom Storey are prosecuting Counsel in the trial of three Muslim in-mates who 'plotted to kill' war criminal Radislav Krstic.

This high profile case is receiving much media attention because of the highly unusual circumstances surrounding the incident which took place at Wakefield Prison on 7th May last year.

Radislav Krstic, a convicted Bosnian war criminal was serving part of his 35-year sentence in the maximum security prison when he was allegedly attacked by Indrit Krasniqi, Iliyas Khalid and Quam Obumbiyi. All three deny attempted murder and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

The trial began in Leeds Crown Court on 7th May and is expected to last three weeks. All three are serving life sentences
