Pensioner denies war crimes

A PENSIONER yesterday denied committing war crimes by murdering four Jews. Anthony Sawoniuk, 77, a retired rail worker from Bermondsey, south London, appeared at the Old Bailer accused of killing them in Belarus in 1942. The trial is likely to be in February. Bail was renewed as was a condition that Mr Sawoniuk must not go abroad.
