On the evening of August 4, at around 9 p.m., 18 people were taken from a prison in Korarit to a place called Qakha, which is known for its cliff, on the road between Qorarit and
Addi Remets where they were shot by fano militia. All of them were believed to be dead, but one, who was only injured in the chest, was able to walk and managed to
reach the river below the cliff. Relatives later recounted that one of the victims was killed by his brother-in-law.
