Plaster-casts of fugitives recently found. Victim 39, right, victim 36, front, and victim 35 at left rear.

A newspaper report at the time reported the finding of eight bodies.

Two families were reported, supposedly of market gardeners, with one family found nearby the other.

One family was made up of the parents and two children, preceded by a man carrying a sack on his shoulders.

The second family consisted of a man also carrying a sack, a woman and child.

The three in this photo were reported as being from the family of five.

The mother was said to be on the right, the father to the left and the child in the foreground.
