Zagreb, March 28 (CP) – Retired Croatian army general Ivan Korade is being looked for by some 300 police special forces as he is believed to be involved in the killing of four people in Croatia’s Zagorje region.

Ret. Gen. Ivan Korade, 44, known for his short temper and many incidents over the years has gone missing after bodies of people linked to him in some way had been found in two villages, one of which he has a home in.

The first body was found in the late hours of Wednesday in a weekend home and was that of Davor Petris, 36, a fellow Homeland war veteran and friend of Korade who was shot to death and later that day more bodies were discovered, two of a grandmother and her grandson in a home in the village where Korade lives and another of an elderly man in a house a few meters away from the first murder scene.

All three were shot to death with the man also found with a knife stuck in his throat.

Some 300 members of the police were dispatched to the area and are searching for Korade who has been missing from his home.

His son and two other people have been arrested in the incident so far, but their role in the events is still not clear.

The residents in the area have shut themselves in their homes fearing of what might happen to them if they venture out of their homes.

Korade has been know for his brushes with the law in the past and for his violent behaviour and although praised for his achievements during the Homeland war has fallen from grace following war events.
