A favourite method was to show the victims dismembered parts of a body, such as arms, legs, noses, and eyes, and offer them a chance of saving their lives if they confessed or paid large sums of money. Corpses of murdered persons were collected at night and thrown finto the ‘Danubje, heavily weighted. Some of the torturers have been arrested and have confessed. One was found in possession of a 'number of blank execution warrants for political suspects.
