On June 6, 1942, the Gorbatenko family from the village of Aleksandrovka (in the Selidovka County) was arrested because of the Jewish origin of the wife, and taken to the Gendarmerie station in the village of Selidovka. A short while later, the non-Jewish husband was released, while his Jewish wife and their three sons remained in custody. On June 19, 1942, they were thrown down a mine shaft in Selidovka, where numerous non-Jews were also murdered on various dates.

In late 1941, either in November or in December (different sources give different dates), a Jewish family from Selidovka was shot in a pit in the courtyard of the former military registration office. The family consisted of four children and three adults. According to some testimonies, prior to the shooting the victims were ordered to strip naked. The women and the younger children were shot first, followed by the man and the rest of the children. Later, a number of non-Jewish residents of Selidovka were shot at the same location.
