That night, the same or other Banderites murdered 7 people from Leon Mroszczuk's family, and burnt them together in a forester's lodge near Zamuliniec. In his house, his wife, three young children, his mother and his wife's brother, a fugitive from Kuty, who miraculously survived the pogrom and took refuge with his brother–in–law, were murdered with him. After this event, the Bandera followers did not allow anyone to bury anyone under the threat of death. I remember that on April 21, 1944, the local hungry dogs spread the remains of human corpses across the fields.

Myrosław Onyszkewycz „Orest Karat” gave the order: „I order you to purge your area immediately from the Polish element and Ukrainian–Bolshevik agents. The purge should be carried out in riverside hostels sparsely populated by Poles. To this end, create a militia near the area, composed of our members, whose task would be to eliminate the above–mentioned. Our larger hostels will be cleared of this element by our military units even in broad daylight […] The clearing of the area must be completed before our Easter so that we can celebrate it without Poles. Remember that when the Bolsheviks find us with Poles in our territory, they will slaughter us all […] Make a hard, ruthless fight with them. Not to spare anyone, even in mixed marriages. To take Lachs out of their houses, but The Ukrainians and children in these houses should not be liquidated […] Get the gun. Death to the Poles. Stop, April 6, 1944. Glory to the heroes! Orest, Karat” This order is in the files of the investigation against Myroslav Onyshhevych.
