German court finds John Demjanjuk guilty of Nazi crimes

A German court found John Demjanjuk guilty on Thursday of helping to kill 27,900 Jews at the Nazi death camp Sobibor during the Holocaust.

The Munich court sentenced the 91-year-old to five years in prison as an accessory to mass murder as a guard at the Polish camp during World War Two. Defence attorneys had said during the 18-month trial they would appeal any guilty verdict. (Reuters)
