Korade's long history of violent behaviour resulted in forced retirement in 1997 and culminated in a 2008 shooting spree in which he murdered five people before committing suicide.

He was badly injured in Dubrovnik in 1992, losing his left arm, but returned to action after only two weeks of recovery, and became the first commander of the newly formed 7th Guards Brigade ("Pumas") in 1993.

[4] On 1 April 2008, Korade was charged with the 27 March murders of four people in his native village (Velika Veternička): a 16-year-old boy, a 62-year-old female relative, and two men, including a former aide, Davor Petriš.

[8] Mario Kusanić, the policeman fatally shot by Korade, was posthumously decorated with the Order of Petar Zrinski and Fran Krsto Frankopan.

[9] By committing suicide, Korade escaped being tried for war crimes during Operation Mistral 2 in Glamoč, Bosnia and Herzegovina (1995), where he commanded over the "Pumas".

[10] By decree of President Stjepan Mesić, all Korade's decorations - except for the Order of the Croatian Cross, a wound medal - were posthumously revoked.
