BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – Two men charged in the beating of an New York college student that has gained international attention are now in jail.
Broome County Judge Martin Smith ordered Sanel Softic and Edin Dzubur held pending a Monday hearing on whether their bail will be increased now that authorities have upgraded the assault charges against them.
Both men had been free on $10,000 bail since being charged with beating Bryan Steinhauer, a Binghamton University honors student who has been in a coma since the May 4 attack at a downtown Binghamton bar.
Co-defendant Miladin Kovacevic fled to his native Serbia in early June after he was freed on $100,000 bail, igniting a diplomatic crisis between Serbia and U.S. officials seeking his return.
