After a three-year trial, a War Crimes court found four former policemen guilty of the massacre and sentenced two of them to a maximum of 20 years in jail, one to 15 years and another to 13 years.[5] However, the Serbian War Crimes prosecutors said that they would appeal the verdicts, especially because the prime suspect — the commander of the unit that carried out the massacre — was acquitted.[5] Suva Reka is the first war crimes case in Serbia related to the mass graves discovered after Slobodan Milošević's ouster.[6]
