adminWarsaw is reeling as yet another murder shakes the capital. On Saturday, August 24, a 47-year-old woman lost her life in a shocking act of violence that took place in broad daylight, right in the heart of the city. The suspect is already behind bars, facing the grim possibility of life imprisonment.
This latest tragedy unfolded in the Wola district, just before 3:00 PM. Witnesses alerted emergency services after discovering an unconscious, severely injured woman in one of the apartment blocks at the intersection of Tyszkiewicz and Długosza streets.
It soon emerged that a group had gathered for a casual afternoon get-together, but what started as a friendly gathering quickly turned into a nightmare. A heated argument erupted between the victim and another guest. In a flash, a man grabbed a knife and brutally attacked the 47-year-old woman. He fled the scene immediately, leaving the others in shock to call for help.
Paramedics arrived swiftly, but despite their best efforts, they couldn’t save her life. The police were notified, and soon after, officers detained everyone present at the gathering. The suspect, a 60-year-old man with a long criminal history, was caught within just 15 minutes of fleeing the scene.
Authorities later confirmed that the man, well-known to the capital’s law enforcement, was already on the police radar and had previously served time for various offenses. After sobering up—his blood alcohol level was measured at two promiles—he was formally charged with murder and is now facing a grim future behind bars.
This latest murder is part of a disturbing trend in Warsaw. Just days ago, another body was found on a balcony in Praga-Północ, bearing multiple injuries consistent with foul play. The investigation in that case is still ongoing.
