Three women of the Casabella family who lived there - María Xosé, her daughter Felicitas and 13-year old grand-daughter Encarna - were murdered, their cattle killed and grain destroyed. Their bodies, initially buried in a common grave near the entrance of the cemetery in Ourol, were trashed after construction works. The Falangists tried to surround the member of the socialist Unión General de Trabajadores, Alejandro Templás, who escaped badly wounded and died shortly after near Ourol.
