Dutch probe Bosnian war criminal's suicide in UN court
Slobodan Praljak
But courtroom one is now an active crime scene after the dramatic events when  former Bosnian Croat military leader Slobodan Praljak  tipped the contents of a small brown bottle into  his  mouth and died shortly afterwards in hospital.
The unprecedented gesture came as  Praljak   72  angrily denied being a criminal  after judges rejected his appeal and upheld his 20-year jail term for atrocities committed in a breakaway Bosnian Croat statelet during the 1990s wars.
It remains a mystery exactly what  Praljak  drank and how  he  managed to evade tight security to smuggle the bottle into the tribunal.
There are also questions about how  he  acquired the substance and if it was in the fortress-like UN detention centre in The Hague where  he  was being held.
Under court rules  everyone entering the detention centre is subjected to tight security âirrespective of  his  or her status  nationality  function or ageâ.
