The defendant, W. Słobodjuk testified that the well into which they were throwing the dead bodies of the executed and „fastened” transported on carts, was located in the Grobina wilderness, near the village of Djadkowycze in the Rówieńskie region, in the estate of a Pole, Ivan (Jan). Kurowski, and its depth was „30–35 fathoms” (about 70 meters). Kurowski himself managed to avoid taking part in „trying the” of his well on himself and he managed to jump out of the kitchen window with his wife and three young children and through the unmowed field to the forest, and then to the city of Rivne. Therefore, instead of him, they threw the man who dug it into the well first – a Pole, Władysław Łobodziński, commonly known as „Digger”, who was murdered by „by” esbists and thrown there with his wife and two children – all 4 people.

On August 24, 1991, the independence of Ukraine was proclaimed. On that day, thousands of people from Djadkovych and the environs of the Rivne region gathered for a completely different reason: the last tribute was paid to the victims who were martyred almost half a century ago. The remains of the deceased were taken out of a deep well in the Dobrowolka chute on the former Jan Kurowski farm. As P. Rusin, a historian from Rivne, writes, two attempts were made – in April and June 1944 – to recover the remains, but each time it was not possible due to the stench of decaying corpses, which caused even wearing gas masks. In addition, OUNOs secured the well with grenades and mines that could explode at any time, filled the well with stones, logs and earth. On the second attempt, the remains of five victims were recovered, a shot pilot, a military forage cap and parts of clothing in tatters. K. Muzyczuk from Nowosiółki recognized the remains of his son's jacket in them (eyewitnesses – children and two women from Djadkowycze – confirmed that they saw six armed men leading a bloodied boy who begged to be released). Engineer – Captain Fomin, who was in charge of the work, allowed his father to keep these pieces of clothing as a souvenir of his son. It was only in the summer of 1991 that soldiers – sappers excavated the remains of 67 bodies from the well. It was no longer possible to recognize anyone… to let him go).
