STANISŁAW LUTY

In Cudzynowice, on 28 September 1948 at 12.00 p.m. I, Marian Radlica from the Citizens’ Militia Station in Kazimierza Wielka, acting on the instruction of the Deputy Prosecutor pursuant to Article 20 of the provisions introducing the Code of Criminal Procedure (KPK), Article 257 of the KPK, due to the absence of the Judge, taking into account that any delay could lead to a loss of traces or evidence of the crime, which would have been obliterated before the arrival of the Judge, following the procedures set out in Articles 235–240, 258 and 259 of the KPK, interviewed the person named below as a witness. Having been advised of the significance of the oath, the right to refuse to testify due to the reasons provided in Article 104 of the KPK, and the criminal liability for making false declarations as stated in Article 140 of the Penal Code, the witness took the oath and testified as follows:

With regard to the present matter, I know the following: that in January 1945, when the last armies were passing through Cudzynowice on the way from Wiślica toward Topola, I, Stanisław Luty, saw the above-mentioned Ukrainian soldiers shoot dead the late Wanda Latos from Cudzynowice. She was near the cemetery, walking toward Budzyń with her sister Janina. The Ukrainians, in the village, were shooting in the direction of the cemetery, aiming at the late Wanda Latos, who was killed after the second shot.

At that I conclude my report and sign after it has been read out.
