The Bulbowski family caught Marian Piotrowski, tied his hands and took him to the forest near the village of Duży Sołpa. Here they ordered him to dig a hole. When he received a blow to the stomach, he pushed the bayonet away and began to run away, being fired after him, but not on target. Franciszek Marcinkowski relates: „It is dark, we keep looking towards the forest as if expecting a miracle. And a figure loomed in the moonlight. She is in white, she comes over, staggers on her feet. It looks like death. We meet and meet. This is Marian. She is in only underwear. From the waist down, a red ribbon of blood. It's raining” ahead of us.

Ukrainian policemen murdered Feliksa Dolecka, who was escaping from the village of Swojczów to Włodzimierz Wołyński. „Antonina and Kazimierz also recall: «A year before his death, Bolesław Roch came to us and, as usual, we also recalled the tragic events in Volhynia. At one point, I mentioned my and my wife's warm friend Felicja Dolecka. I confided to Bolek that to this day I do not know what exactly happened to her, my hearing was lost after her. Then Bolek, surprised, asked me significantly: ‹You don't know, she was brutally murdered by the Ukrainians in Gnojno!› I started to tell us how it happened: ‹From the Ukrainian police station in Gnojno, two Ukrainian policemen known to her came to the house of Felicja in Swojczów. They said to Felicja: ‘Go and take you to Włodzimierz Wołyński, because the Ukrainians will kill you here!’ At that time, she knew about the tragedy that recently happened in the Polish Dominopol. She trusted the Ukrainians, hurriedly gathered her things into the suitcases, got on the wagon with them and they drove away. Instead of going to Włodzimierz Wołyński, the three of them went to the Ukrainian police station in Gnojno. There they raped her, and finally they cut a stake and stuck that pole in her skid membrane. This is how they impaled her, just like in the cruel times of their national hero Bohdan Chmielnicki›. From what he further told us, I realized that Stanisław Czop told Bolek about it. Staszek, who had already died, was a Pole from Niedzieliska. Before the war, he married a Ukrainian woman from Siedliska near Zamość, and he strictly joined the Ukrainians. In the summer of 1943, he was the commander of the Ukrainian police in Gnojno, commune of Werba, Włodzimierz Wołyński county. He saw with his own eyes how Felicja Dolecka from Swojczów was murdered. After the war, he moved back to Siedliska and it was there that he told Bolek Roch»”.
