SB‑OUN killed Aniela Czura for allegedly denouncing the NKVD and collaborating with the Home Army. The next day, June 2, her daughter Maria Marczak and her son–in–law, a Pole, Michał Marczak, were murdered. The sheer volume of allegations and their structure suggest that some or all of them have been made up. The village of Iskań was located in the third district, and the secretary of the Security Service was Włodzimierz Choma. Presumably some of the accusations were deliberately fabricated by Kuszcz's intelligence officers in order to use the SB for private settlements.

The UPA brutally murdered the teachers' family: a Pole, his Ukrainian wife (Maria and Michał Marczak), and her mother (the Pole's mother–in–law) hanged upside down „for betraying the Ukrainian nation”; in addition, they murdered 1 more Pole; 2 Poles and 2 Ukrainian women in total; probably the sons of the Uniate priest, Michajło Huk, committed the murder.

Around 10 p.m., a group of 12 people armed with rifles attacked the house of the Polish family of Teodosia Bacza and killed her daughter Helena Bacza, aged 20, of Polish nationality. „They committed the murders in a bestial manner, beating their victim with rifle bearings. After committing suicide (sic), the corpse was placed in a prepared cart, they were brought to the San River and drowned there. Among the Bandera followers, Sluzae (sic) Milko [Omelan], Pleczeń Milko [Omelan Płeczeń, who hid in the bunker until the amnesty was announced], Bustwat Michał and Bustwat Iwan from Iskania, and Kocaba from Ruska Wieś were recognized. In addition to this accident, the same Banderites killed Aniela Czura, Marczak Maria and Kurasz Kazimierz in June 1945, all of Polish nationality”.
