PRAGUE, Czech Republic — A Czech provincial court sentenced two skinheads to one year in jail for deliberately causing the death of a Gypsy, the CTK news agency reported Friday.
The victim, Tibor Danihel, 17, died in September, 1993, in Pisek, 65 miles south of Prague, after a gang of 18 skinheads--armed with baseball bats, chains and sticks--chased him into the freezing waters of the Otava river and prevented his rescue.
