When they entered the town, they separated the men, including some 12-year-olds and those older than 70. The court established without any doubt that thousands of men were killed systematically. Their bodies were then thrown into mass graves. When they realized that the \u201cprimary\u201d mass graves would be discovered, the \u201cglorious warriors\u201d led by Mladi\u0107 and Karad\u017ei\u0107 and their assistants used excavators to dig out the bodies and move them to secondary mass graves, again with excavators. The bodies were subsequently moved to tertiary mass graves\u2026 The remains of a single person were often found in three different mass graves. However, Novi Sad believes that the person who masterminded the whole process deserves to be an idol whose name should be written in red, which apparently doesn\u2019t bother the local residents enjoying the comfort of their renovated, warm family homes.
