Bratislawa / Slovakia (RNC Agency) 24.12.1996
An 18 year old Skinhead suspected of the murder of a 43 year old male Roma in the Slovacian Town Handlova has been arrested. According topolice information given out on Tuesday with the arrest of the 18 year old Skinhead, the matter is resolved. A group of Skinheads attacked several Roma and the murdered 43 yearold Roma was seriously injured with a stab wound in the abdomen. This bloody attack on the Roma has done much to increase the already existing ethnical tensions in the central Slovacian mining area where a great number of Roma live. On Monday evening a demonstration of about hundred Roma bearing lighted candles took place in protest against the murderous crime.
