Nato's leaders presented it as evidence of the scale of the slaughter in Kosovo. At the time Belgrade angrily denied the claims as western propaganda. The BBC's Panorama programme discovered that the graves did exist - and 120 men were massacred in a matter of hours. The horror began on 2 April when Serbian security forces shelled the small village and began setting fire to homes. Terrified by the onslaught, villagers headed for a nearby field where they were herded together by tanks.
Witnesses say that many of the young men from the village had already fled, fearing for their lives.
Witnesses told Panorama that the Serb forces had been ordered to release only those males under the age of 13. Paramilitary forces ordered the women to leave the village and, according to Human Rights Watch, then ordered the males to hand over money and identity cards. The paramilitary police separated males into four groups according to their age and took them, one group at a time, to be shot. Witnesses who filmed the aftermath say that seven or eight paramilitary police carried out the killings. The youngest was a boy of 14 years old.
