Melbourne man on Interpol's most wanted list

An Australian man, accused of committing war crimes, has been placed on Interpol's most wanted list.

A Melbourne man has been placed on Interpol's most wanted list over alleged war crimes committed during the breakdown of the former Yugoslavia.

A Croatian court claims Serbian man Predrag Japranin was responsible for the murders of three people in the Croatian town of Petrinja in 1991.

The two men's bodies were found five years later in a mass grave, along with the remains of the third man Mr Japranin is alleged to have murdered.

A Croatian woman, Kristina Siftar, Mr Japranin came to her home and took away her son before his death.

"He now does not want to admit it, as if I were lying. My son did not just disappear like that," she said told the ABC.

Mr Japranin has reportedly denied the claims.
