BRITISH troops scoured the Kosovo capital yesterday for two killers who battered an old Serb woman to death and left her flat laughing and congratulating one another.
The two kicked down the door of Zorka Zizic's flat as two Danish workers for the United Nations refugee agency watched anxiously through the keyhole of their own flat.
Mrs Zizic, 75, was one of the dozens of elderly Serbs whose names are on a "vulnerable persons register" and who are visited daily by men of the Royal Irish Regiment in what are called "reassurance patrols".
But the soldiers are unable to be with all the likely victims all the time and the killers are waiting until the troops have made a call before they strike.
"It was a terrible sight," said Captain Matthew Munro, looking pale after a sleepless night trying to track the killers. "But it has made the men more determined than ever to stop the ethnic cleansing."
