Edin Pjanić, also known as Phillip McCoy (born September 9, 1954 in Cazin) is a Bosnian serial killer.
Life
Edin Pjanić was born on September 9, 1954, in Cazin, Bosnia, to a single mother. He never met his father, although he later expressed resentment at the lack of contact. After his murders began, he avoided his hometown out of fear of recognition and apprehension. Over the course of the 1970s and early 2000s, Pjanić killed at least 5 people; some estimates place the number as high as 25–30. He was captured on April 30, 2005, in Sarajevo after attempting to register a phone belonging to one of his victims.
Sentencing and Imprisonment
A jury found Pjanić guilty of all charges, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment. He has remained incarcerated at Zenica Prison since 2006.
