In the village of Karacici, they found 20 civilians, mainly women, children and elderly people who had hid in a garage and then killed them, according to the indictment, which has still to be confirmed.

“The defendants took the civilians towards a nearby barn by threatening them and hitting them with rifle butts. They killed the victims with automatic weapons at the site and after that started a fire which burned the victims’ bodies,” said the prosecution.

The remains of several of the victims were found at the site after the war, while others remain missing.
