There were at least 10 attackers with knives, hammers, and other makeshift weapons. They struck under the cover of darkness, just before midnight on June 23, swinging their weapons and shouting obscenities, and jolting the 14 Romany campers — including four children — from their sleep.
By the time it was over, several terrifying minutes later, a 24-year-old man lay dead and four other Roma were wounded — a 10-year-old boy, two 19-year-old men, and a 30-year-old woman.
