A verdict in the trial of four Hungarians accused of killing six Roma in a wave of cold-blooded attacks is expected Tuesday, as the country continues to struggle with discrimination.
Between July 2008 and August 2009, the men allegedly carried out nine assaults against the Roma minority in various northeastern villages, using grenades, guns and Molotov cocktails.
In one of the most gruesome attacks, a father and his five-year-old son were gunned down as they tried to flee their house, which the group had set on fire.
Another woman was shot in her sleep.
In total, six people were killed and five injured in the year-long spree of violence.
Three of the accused — brothers Arpad and Istvan Kiss, and Zsolt Peto — face life in prison if convicted. They have denied carrying out the attacks and have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The fourth — Istvan Csontos, who served as a driver to his accomplices — has pleaded guilty to charges of collusion but insists he did not take part in the murders. He faces a lesser jail sentence.
All four — aged 28 to 42 at the time of the crimes — have been in custody since their arrest in August 2009.
