The legs of the victims seems to have been broken - either just before or after death, 

"Many have injuries, skull fractures caused by typical weapons from the time", said Christian Meyers, who was a PhD student at the University of Mainz when he conducted the research.

The injuries are often on the left of the skull, indicating that they were facing the attacker when they were hit with an adze.
