Hungarian recently acquitted of war crimes dies

None

Sandor Kepiro, a former officer in a Hungarian special security force who was recently acquitted of Holocaust-era war crimes charges, died Saturday. He was 97.

 

Kepiro died at a hospital in Budapest, his lawyer Zsolt Zetenyi said. He said doctors did not provide a cause of death. "Doctors said he was suffering from 'general weakening,' and I am convinced the trial contributed significantly to the worsening of his health," Zetenyi told The Associated Press. "His condition was continually deteriorating." (AP)
