Constantin BiekseConnie Biekse was murdered in Siroki Brijeg, near Mostar during 1994 whilst serving in the notorious Tuta Grupa HVO. In 1995 two German volunteers who had served in the HVO near Mostar in 1993-4 were sentenced to life imprisonment by a court in Memmingen, southern Germany. Falk Simang (31) and Ralf Mrachacz (41) both from Neu Ulm and former soldiers of the East German Army, were found guilty on 14th December of murdering two other German volunteers, one of whom was Connie. The killers, helped by another German and an Austrian volunteer, shot dead one colleague they suspected of theft and murdered another who had committed ﾓtreasonﾔ by wanting to quit their group. They then burned the corpses of their victims in some woods in an attempt to hide their crimes. These activities were brought to light when one of the killers bragged about what he had done on television. The name of the other victim is not known but was probably "Heinz" (see separate entry). Another victim, known only as "Stefan" was also found in the area at the same time. Connie's body was eventually returned to Germany by road, arriving at Freilassing on 7th December 1994 where it was later examined by a pathologist.
