Using axes, forks, scythes, knives and burning them alive, they murdered over 100 Poles. Thirteen‑year‑old Piotr Kucner, who was wounded in his leg, and his 4‑year‑old sister Kazimiera, were thrown into the fire, 38‑year‑old Katarzyna Orzechowska was stabbed with a pitchfork, and the torturer took her one‑year‑old son Jarosław by the legs and smashed his head against a stone.

The fate of Ugłów was very tragic. The Banderites, similarly to Parośle, arrived in Ugłów pretending to be the Soviet partisans, they ate and drank, and in the evening there was even a dance party inspired by them. The people were not to play, they knew that the Germans would hold them accountable for accepting partisans. This behavior of the newcomers was very disturbing, because the Soviet Partisans, needing food, sent envoys first, the people prepared food, and they ate without going home and went on. The Banderites left the village and decided not to kill them directly because of their low strength. After leaving and taking their position, they started firing, the straw roofs caught fire at once, the people fled in panic towards the forest, straight into the ambush. Most of those who escaped towards the meadows, contrary to logic, survived. Part of the population was buried in the village, the Bandera followers sought them out and murdered them. Over 100 people were killed. The murdered were lying unburied for almost a week, only when the invited Germans from Sarny arrived, the burial was organized […] An eyewitness to the murder was Stefania Orzechowska, d/o Stanisław from Folwark, she went to her uncle Władysław in Ugły, she also attended this game. Władysław was married there for a colonist's daughter, he had several children. When the murder began, Władysław and his older children managed to escape, while his wife with a 9–month–old child hid with a few others in a potato mound at a Ukrainian neighbor. When the Bandera followers came to the yard, he immediately showed the place of their hiding. The adults were murdered and the child was loaded onto rails. The Ukrainians claimed that the murder was carried out by Banderites from Kryczylsk […] They burned the fallen, but the fields were planted and sown. The Ukrainians did not use the crops for fear of Poles. The Poles, with great fear, decided to take the uphill stretches, so Feliński Anastazy s/o Feliks went to get grass from Folwark, and took his son Edward and daughter Hanna with him. When he did not come back, boys from Folwark, armed with rifles, went to look for them. They were lying murdered next to the wagon. Horses were stolen, and Hannah cut off the finger on which was a poor, thin, brass ring.
