Serbian Barbarism: When Serbian barbarian soldiers killed all 5 sons of a mother in 1912

Cited from Leo Freundlichs report from 1912:

“A woman from Fani, named Dila, set out for Prizren with her sons, another relative, and two men from the village of Gjugja to buy goods for her daughter’s dowry. Before arriving in Prizren, she requested a pass for herself and her companions from General Jankovic’s command post so that she could proceed unhindered. She was granted the passes. When the group of five arrived in Suni, about four hours from Prizren, they were robbed of their belongings and the four men were tied up and thrown into a pit.

The soldiers then shot the men from the edge of the pit. The mother, who had witnessed the scene, called out in despair for her son. Seeing that he was no longer alive, she threw herself at the soldiers’ feet, begging them to kill her too. They had tied him to a tree when some officers passed by, having heard the shots. The soldiers showed the officers a loaf of bread they had seized from the women, in which they had pressed two Mauser bullets as proof that the men had tried to smuggle ammunition.

After that, the officers ordered the soldiers to go on their way. The poor woman remained tied to the tree at the edge of the pit, in full view of her murdered son, from Monday afternoon until Wednesday. On Wednesday, hungry and exhausted by the cold of the late autumn nights, she was taken to Prizren. She was locked up that night and presented to the commander the next day.

Although General Jankovic must have known that the poor woman standing before him was innocent, she was still not released. Instead, she was taken to the residence of the Serbian bishop where she remained in custody until the next day, when she was handed over to the Catholics, taken to a church and cared for.”
