In the morning a UPA militia entered the carts and murdered at least 52 Poles: „They started from the farm of my uncle Jankowski, Mikołaj, who lived at the end of the village, by the road leading to Czekno. about ten of them came on two carts, they drove into the yard, burst into the apartment and started cruelly beating the household members. There was an uncle in the house, daughter Zosia, age 2, and son antoni, age 18. My uncle was not in the farmhouse at that time, because he was staying with his Ukrainian neighbor, with whom he lived in great harmony. at one point, my uncle heard a terrible scream and saw his uncle running out of the house and a shot fired behind her, then Zosia and Tosiek ran out, who were also shot. Uncle in shock turned to this neighbor asking what was going on, and he grabbed his hand and started shouting «boys sister», luckily they didn't hear. Uncle got out of the hands of «a good neighbor», and with all his strength he escaped into the field and took refuge in a nearby forest. after the bloody deal with his uncle's family, the bandits went to the farm of Żukowski Feliks, located closer to the village. They circled the house, burst into the apartment, where they found Feliks, his wife and daughter ania, 16 […] all three were hacked with an ax, and their bodies were dragged out of the house and thrown onto a cart […] a gang with three cruelly torn bodies of the Żukowski family drove up to the Kwiatkowski farm, already in the middle of the village. The Kwiatkowski family consisted of two elderly people, son Józef (an invalid) and a daughter with her husband and a four‑year‑old daughter. They quickly circled the entire farmyard, dragged everyone to the yard, tied their hands behind their backs and loaded them onto carts. They tied Kulawy Józio to the wagon with a rope and drove along a dirt road outside the village, leading to the road from Jarosławicz to Targowica. Jozek, in terrible torments, ran after the cart as long as he could, finally he fell and they dragged him along the road further, to the forest at the end of the village, near the Targowicki track. Here, at the edge of the forest, a pit and a place of execution were prepared. They quickly dealt with the Kwiatkowski family, hacking them with axes and throwing them into a dug hole. Then they came to a water mill located in the center of the village, which was leased by the Jachemek family, consisting of five people. When they drove up to a small house, standing near the mill by the river, they found only Stasia Jachemkowa, 18, a lovely, nice girl. How wild beasts pounced on her and began raping her one by one. Finally, they dragged them half–alive into the yard, tied a rope to the beam with a rope and plunged head down into the water in the well. Later, they returned to the mill, where Stasi's older brother Stefan, 21, was grinding grain for the peasants. Stefan's friend Kazik Żukowski and a few older The Ukrainians also stayed at the mill at that time. The bandits rushed at Stefan and Kazik, a fight ensued, because they were very strong boys, but they were unable to defend themselves against the angry and bloodthirsty crowd. They tied them with ropes and tried to screw them alive into the mill wheel, but they failed, so they finished them off with an ax. They loaded their bodies on a wagon, they took the Stasi's body from the well, they also threw them on the cart and drove away. On the way, two old people named Suk lived near the church. They loaded them onto a wagon and drove to the place of execution. after murdering the old men and throwing all the bodies into the pit, they went across the river to the Przewłocki family's farm. Here they found the whole family complete, namely Mrs. Przewłocka, an old woman, 70, her daughter Jadzia, 30, and a son with his wife and daughter Lucia, 18. There was also Mr. Dobrowolski, who lived with his wife and two children nearby. all six people tied their hands behind their backs and took them into the woods to the crime scene. When they got there, they started a terrible orgy with Jadzia and Lucia, raping them collectively in front of everyone. This moment of the Banderites' debauchery was used by Mr. Dobrowolski, he jumped imperceptibly between the trees and, with all his strength in his legs, began to run away towards the house 2 km away from this place. When he ran onto a dirt road, he met an old Ukrainian man who, with tears in his eyes, untied his hands and said goodbye to him, «run away, brother, as far as possible, where your eyes will be carried away, because here very terrible things are happening»”.
