On January 9, 1943, in the morning, Ukrainian auxiliary policemen surrounded the ghetto and other Jewish houses and took 100 Jews to the Zabłocie County administration building (or, according to another testimony, to the police station). The chief of the Zabłocie County Gendarmerie (German rural order police) Sitzler and the chief of Zabłocie Ukrainian auxiliary police Nikolay Dufanetz told the assembled Jews that for their safety they were going to be relocated to the nearby village of Tur. After their names were registered, the Jews were formed into a column and taken under the guard of Ukrainian auxiliary policemen toward Tur, 6 kilometers from Zabłocie. When the column arrived at the shooting site near Svyatoye Lake, the Ukrainian policemen forced the Jews to lie down in the snow near a pit that had been dug by residents of Tur village. Then they took the victims in groups of 5 to the pit and forced them to strip naked and lie facedown at the bottom of the pit. Sitzler, Dufanetz, and others carried out the shooting with machine-guns while standing in the pit. The shooting lasted about two hours. Afterward, residents of Tur covered the pit with earth. The belongings and clothes of the victims were loaded onto carts and taken to the Zabłocie County administration office.
