Another Kosovo war crimes witness killed?

A European Union official said on September 28 that a key witness in a war crimes trial in Kosovo has been found dead in a park in Germany.

EU rule of law mission spokesman Nicholas Hawton said German police are investigating the death of Agim Zogaj, known as "protected witness X" in the war crimes trial against a former ethnic Albanian rebel commander who is now a senior politician -- Fatmir Limaj.

Hawton gave no further details.

Zogaj had been granted protected witness status in return for his testimony in the Limaj trial.

Yet another witness against the KLA war crimes has "died" , this one under some sort of protection. What will this do for any expectation of justice if authorities are unwilling or unable to protect witnesses? Who else will come forward, is there even anyone left to come forward at this stage?
Am assuming it was local german protection and not Hague responsible.
