Punisa Racic

Puniša Račić was a Serbian politician from Berane, Montenegro, member of the Yugoslav Parliament from the National Radical Party. During the parliament session on June 20, 1928, Račić took offense at insults made by several Croatian deputies from the opposition Croatian Peasant Party who repeatedly insulted and interrupted him during his speeches. On the chamber floor Račić pulled out a pistol and mortally wounded four Croatian MPs, including the leader of the Croatian Peasant Party Stjepan Radić. Račić was arrested and convicted of the crime, but was sentenced to house arrest in Požarevac. He was allowed to visited his cousin one Nikola Bošković several times a week, and was later released. Račić led a quiet life during most of World War II. He was captured by the Partisans in October 1944, tried by a military court of partisan 21st. Serbian division and executed.
