Slobodan Praljak 72 had his 20 year sentence for war crimes as a Bosnian Croat general upheld.

As soon as his sentence was upheld she shouted he was no criminal and rejected the verdict.  He then tipped his head backward and downed poison.

I've not heard of anything like this since the war crimes trials after WW2.

[News is a little late, from the WSJ of Nov. 30.  I'm catching up on papers after our last trip].
