Mainly in the Mazurówka hamlet, the UPA murdered over 100 Poles. „The Ukrainians from Żorniska took the miller Akerman, his son–in–law Karol Dzielędziak and their Ukrainian maid. They told them that they were taking them for questioning in Janów. On the way to Janów they also took Józef Podsiadło. However, they did not take them for interrogation to Janów, but murdered them in the forest with knives. The Ukrainians took off their scalps and cut the skin of their backs with knives  […] Five children and parents died in the Ciepko family. One boy who escaped was shot and the rest were cut to pieces with” knives.

During the third attack, the UPA burnt down Polish farms and murdered 74 Poles; they burned alive, pricked with bayonets, chopped with axes etc.; a baby from the Ciepków family was slashed alive on the fence rail, 35‑year‑old Maria Kaczmarczyk was cut with an ax from the neck through her breast; a baby from the Koszala family was stabbed with a knife; 1‑year‑old Anna Marcinów and 3‑year‑old Katarzyna Podsiadło had their heads cut off; the baby (Zofia Podsiadło) smashed the head against the wall; they tortured and cut the skin from the face and back of 70‑year‑old Andrzej Wakierman; 44‑year‑old Maria Więcław had 60 bayonet stab wounds; they kidnapped a 20‑year‑old girl who went missing without a trace. „I entered the apartment without seeing anyone. There, in the room, I saw my wife with her head cut open with an ax until her eye poped out. My kids were chopped up with a meat cleaver that lay bloody next to it. Each of them had a gunshot wound to the head. I ran out into the yard. There was silence all around. The murderers were gone. I ran quickly to my parents' house. I was hoping to meet someone alive there. Unfortunately, they were all murdered. Four adults and seven children. They were all chopped up with axes and stabbed with bayonets or knives, everyone was shot in the head. The whole apartment was covered in blood  […] By the way, I visited the apartment of a neighbor named Ciepko. There I saw small children with their bellies cut with knives. One of the little girls was impaled on the fence rail and stabbed with knives and finally shot her in the head”.
