The circumstances of the case The facts of the case, as submitted by the applicants, may be summarised as follows. On 18 August 1995 the applicants’ father, J.M., was killed by three men dressed in camouflage uniforms. An investigation has been opened in that respect and it appears that it is still pending. COMPLAINTS The applicants complain under the procedural aspect of Articles 2 and 14 of the Convention that the investigation into the death of their father was not effective and that the motive for his killing, which occurred only because of his Serbian ethnic origin, was not investigated. They also complain under Article 13 of the Convention, in conjunction with Article 2 of the Convention, that they had no effective remedy.       QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES 1.     Having regard to the procedural protection of the right to life (see paragraph 104 of Salman v. Turkey [GC], no. 21986/93, ECHR 2000-VII), has there been an investigation in the present case by the domestic authorities, complying with the requirements under Article 2 of the Convention?   2.     Have the relevant authorities complied with their procedural obligation under Article 14 of the Convention to investigate whether there was any motive behind killings of the applicants’ close relatives that might be related to their Serbian origin (see, mutatis mutandis , Šečić v. Croatia , no. 40116/02, § 66, ECHR 2007 ‑ VI)?   3.     Do the applicants have at their disposal an effective domestic remedy for their Convention complaints, as required by Article 13 of the Convention?     Appendix         Nada KRALJ born on 30/05/1966 is a Croatian nationals who was born in 1966, lives in Krašić and represented by J.BRDAR     Veselka POVRŽENIĆ born on 12/12/1960 is a Croatian nationals who was born in 1960, lives in Jastrebarsko and represented by J.BRDAR     Gordana TUNIĆ born on 23/06/1963 is a Croatian nationals who was born in 1963, lives in Stara Pazova and represented by J.BRDAR
