On the last day of February 1945, Joško Talanyi-Janez left with a patrol, which also included Franček Majcen, Štefan Zelenko and Štefan Bakan, all members of the 1st Prekmurje Partisan Detachment. On their return from the field, coming from the direction of Bogojin back to the detachment's base, the partisan patrol encountered a Hungarian ambush. In the clash, Joško Talanyi-Janez was mortally wounded. The body of the dead partisan was taken by the Hungarians to the cemetery in Dobrovnik, where they stripped him naked and burned him. After the war, the body was exhumed and now rests in the cemetery of fallen fighters at the cemetery in Murska Sobota.
A memorial plaque, surrounded by pillars, was erected by the municipal committee of the People's Republic of Slovenia, Murska Sobota, and unveiled on 4 July 1980.
