1945 February 23, Kuńkowce — Report of the MO post in Kuńkowce for the County Office in Przemyśl about the murder of Ukrainians in Bełwin:
At night on February 28, 1945, around 1‑2 o'clock 5 armed perpetrators came to the village of Bełwin, Przemyśl poviat, where they shot 3 Ukrainian guards.
Investigations were carried out by the local police station, during which by questioning the witness who was present at the shooting of the above–mentioned, he stated the following.
Witness Skrypko Miron, born in 1922 in Bełwin, son of Maksym and Katarzyna, Greek Catholic, Ukrainian, reported that on the night of February 28, 1945, around At 0.30 a few men armed with automatic machines and rifles arrived at his house. One of them entered his apartment and asked where Michał Perchacz lived and ordered him to get dressed and lead him to him. He put on his jacket and put on his boots, in his pants he went out into the yard and with everyone else he walked towards Perchacz's house. In an instant, the alarm was triggered by the chiming of the gongs. They escaped not far, because the sentry Kot began to chime the gong, and when he saw the individuals approaching him, he ran to his apartment, closing the door behind him.
The perpetrators approached the door, ordered it to be opened, when no one spoke, they forcibly began to open it. Kot spoke through the door and replied that the door would not open. At that moment, one of the perpetrators fired a burst from a machine gun at the door, then left. Kot groaned a few times and was dead.
After leaving Kot's house, they noticed that a few people ran across the road, followed by them, and when they ran behind Dypek's house, they asked who you are, Poles or Ukrainians. The answer was that the Ukrainians took them to the road and told them to lie down on the ground there. They did not want to lie down because it was very wet, they repeated once more to lie down on the ground, and when they did not obey, they were shot on the spot with rifles. They were shot:
1) Kot Seńko in his house,
2) Hawryła Piotr, and
3) Bugira Grzegorz.
After shooting those, someone fired a shot at the end of the village. The perpetrators said:
— «Let us turn back, the manhunt seems to be going».
They turned back together with the witness, because they ordered him to go on with them, show the way leading through the forest. They came to a small river through which he had to take them to the other side. One of the perpetrators wanted to shoot him, but the other said not to shoot him, but let him return to the village and tell all Ukrainians to move to Ukraine within 3 days. And if they don't, 200 men will come and shoot all of them.
It was established that there were 5 perpetrators. They were dressed in civilian clothes, except for one who was wearing a Soviet military coat. They came from Maćkowie commune side and left in this direction.
The prosecutor of Prosecutor's Office in Przemśl and militia MO county headquarters in Przemyśl were notified
