Three of them were abducted, while one managed to escape and inform the military police (MO) post in Ruda Różaniecka about the whole incident.
As a result of the retaliatory action, which was carried out by the militia forces from the posts in Ruda Różaniecka, Cieszanów and Folwark, guided by the principle of collective responsibility, 35 hostages were abducted from Lubliniec Nowy.
The murdered were buried nearby in old trenches, after some time the bodies were dug up and moved to another, unknown place.
The bodies of the shot men, as well as women with children, were thrown to be torn to pieces by wild beasts.
However, citing the lack of archival documents and the fact that some of the former police officers have already died, others cannot be traced, and those who are alive and who testify that they took part in the arrest say they have forgotten everything, the prosecutor stopped investigation into the murder.
