Sandor Kepiro sits in a courtroom in Budapest May 5, 2011. The day of his trial started in Budapest on Thursday. Kepiro has denied any wrongdoing. The paper he is holding reads: "Killers. You are the killers of a 97-year old man."
Kepiro is accused to taking part in raids by Hungarian forces in Serbia in which 1200 civilians were killed. He admits to participating in the raids, but maintains his innocence. Read the full story.
Another man in his 90's is also on trial for war crimes committed during the same time in Poland. See our previous post on John Demjanjuk.
