Shortly after the mass escape from the Rokitno market square, some Jews who had been caught hiding were taken by the gendarmes and the Ukrainian auxiliary policemen to a pit that had been dug near the forest outside of town. Upon arriving at the murder site, the victims were thrown into the pit in groups and shot dead. After the massacre, the pit was covered with earth, while some of the victims were still alive.
