Bosnian convicted of abusing his stepdaughter

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — A Bosnian man was convicted on Tuesday of illegally imprisoning his German stepdaughter in his house for six years.

Milenko Marinkovic, 52, was arrested last May in his village of Karavlasi in northeast Bosnia and accused of mistreating 19-year-old Bettina Siegner by holding her captive in his remote home, starving her, preventing her from going to school or meeting other people, and physically and mentally torturing her.
