Budapest – The prosecution of the 97-year-old Hungarian Sandor Kepiro for alleged Nazi-era war crimes resumed on Thursday after psychiatrists declared him fit to stand trial.

The hearing was adjourned earlier this month amid concerns over the former police captain’s ability to comprehend court proceedings.
Due to his age, the hard-of-hearing Kepiro can participate for only two 45-minute sessions before becoming tired, according to a statement from Budapest Municipal Court.
Kepiro is accused of leading an armed police unit that took part in January 1942 in the slaughter of mainly Serbian and Jewish civilians in what is now northern Serbia.
Over 1,000 were killed in the Novi Sad massacre, part of a series of reprisal killings.
Why does it seem like so many of these Nazi monsters live to a ripe old age? Maybe they are getting their “rewards” now in preparation for Gehennom later? I like to think so.
The gehennom is knowing sooner or later you will be caught
At least he will not spend his last days in peace. A very small consolation.
