The UPA threw grenades and broke into the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, where 3 Polish families, 12 people, were hiding. They murdered 11 people: Leontyna Wadas and her children: Tadeusz, Helena, Stanisława, Danuta, Aniela and Ryszard Andrzej, who was the godson of Marshal Edward Rydz Śmigły (her husband served in the legions together with Śmigły). Moreover, they murdered two older couples. They dumped the bodies of the victims into a deep well nearby. They robbed the church of church belongings, robbed the property of the murdered, and then set the church on fire. Of the Empire church from 1857, built by Marshal Teodor Jełowicki, a participant in the January Uprising, only the outer walls remained, which The local Ukrainians demolished in 1954. Leontyna Wadas's husband survived in the church and, unnoticed, stood behind the open door leaf. For a week he hid with a Ukrainian, then he set off on foot to Krzemieniec and after 8 kilometers he was caught by the UPA and murdered. His body without clothes was abandoned in the cemetery, where he was buried after a few days by local Ukrainians. After the crime in the church, local Ukrainian women wore dresses from the murdered Vadasova.
