The Zagreb apartment of Tomislav Marjanovic, the key witness in the ongoing trial for the murder of journalist Ivo Pukanic, was broken into between June 15 and July 7, sources in the police and the Zagreb County Court confirmed on Thursday.

As yet unidentified burglars stole technical appliances, paintings and pieces of furniture. The value of the stolen items has not been estimated yet.

The authorities could not say how it was possible for thieves to break into the apartment of one of the most heavily guarded people in the country.

Marjanovic has been under round-the-clock police protection since he agreed to testify against the six persons accused of involvement in the murder of Pukanic and his business associate, Niko Franjic, in Zagreb in October 2008.
