On 29 April 1992, a group of 36 Bosniak civilians were captured by Serbs hiding in the woods in Snagovo. They were killed, including children and pregnant women, and their corpses were burned in an effort to destroy evidence. Several days later, the victims' relatives found the burned remains and buried them nearby. Serbian Major Zoran Janković went on trial for the massacre but was acquitted 19 June 2007 due to lack of evidence.
