On July 6, 1941, members of the Ukrainian police from the nearby town of Tuczyn arrived in Horyńgród. Assisted by the local police force (headed by Nikolay Motveichuk), they surrounded the town and, after catching fourteen (or twenty-five, according to other testimony) Jewish men, they took them away, on the pretext of sending them to do some forced labor, and led them to the village of Babin, about two kilometers south of the town. By evening, upon reaching a ravine lying near the village, the Ukrainian auxiliary policemen from Tuczyn, together with Nikolay Motveichuk, shot the Jewish men dead with machine guns and rifles, while the local Ukrainian policemen stood by. According to a testimony, after the shooting the bodies of the victims were buried at the Lysaya Gora Tract, some four kilometers from the town of Horyńgród.
