[The Ukrainians] attacked the presbytery and murdered parish priest Fr Marian Dziamarski, his sister, a housekeeper and a woman from Lviv who used the accommodation at the presbytery. The priest's body was thrown into a nearby pond, in which it surfaced after some time. He was bound with barbed wire. Before he died, a cross was burned on his chest, his fingernails and tongue were torn out, his eyes were gouged out. „The circumstances of the death of Fr Dziamarski is reported by Sister Aniela Koj der from the Congregation of the Sisters Servants of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Stara Wieś. The account was written in 1947 by the Superior General of the Congregation, Sr. Eleonora Jankiewicz, at the request of the priest's brother, engineer Władysław Dziamarski: Half an hour before the terrible tragedy took place, the late Fr Marian to the sisters and asked them to come to the rectory and then go to church together, to spend the night (because in the area there were repeated attacks by Ukrainians). The sisters agreed very willingly to the late the parish priest, because they were also terrible at home then. They stopped to drink and wear something warm. When they left the house, they heard a terrible scream, the rectory was already surrounded by about 50 men, and a machine gun was placed in front of the front door. Six rushed inside, they captured Fr Marian, threw him to the ground and tied him with barbed wire. The poor man was crying out of pain and begging him to release at least one hand. The sisters crawled up the garden in their hands closer to the rectory and saw the late Fr Marian and thrown on the sleigh. A girl (a certain Mila Stajnerówne) was also taken with the priest. After a while, the Ukrainians gave three shots to the late Fr Marian, and the Sisters heard his moans, which soon fell silent. That girl was murdered in the same way. Then the body was thrown into a pond or a river that ran close to the rectory. The people of Bekerow stood at a distance, shouting and lamenting to be killed when their Father was murdered. At dawn, a certain Miss Nusia, who had witnessed everything, and the mother of the murdered Stajnerówna, ran to the sisters, both of them almost wearing shirts, because they had been torn off and robbed of everything. An army from Pidhaitsi also arrived, notified of the attack, and the army began searching for the bodies of the murdered, but to no avail. So the late Fr Marian fell at a priestly post, he had been urged beforehand to leave and thus save his life, but he replied that as long as at least one Pole was in Bekerowo, it was his duty to persist  […] In the village of Nowosiółka–Bekerów, apart from Fr M. Dziamarski, 8 people were killed (all names are established), 1020 people were expelled from the village, 302 farms were burned”. .
