Attack in Kędzierzyn-Koźle: The murder suspect was insane

As RMF FM reporter Marcin Buczek reports, according to the opinion issued by two psychiatrists and a psychologist, the man who attacked a woman in the forest in Kędzierzyn-Koźle at the end of August was completely insane.

Specialists concluded that "he had a fully abolished ability to both recognize the meaning of his actions and direct his actions." The source of this condition was mental illness.

According to the prosecutor, one examination was enough to issue such an opinion. Experts had no doubts about the perpetrator's mental state at the time of the attack.

Two attacks, one investigation

Let us recall that before the tragic incident in Kędzierzyn-Koźle occurred, the same man attacked and seriously injured a man in Opole.

Both cases are currently the subject of one investigation.

What's next with the case?

The investigation into the murder and the earlier attempted murder in Opole will continue for several more months. The prosecutor's office announces that it may take about three or four months to complete the proceedings.

However, as the prosecutor emphasizes, "there will be no indictment." After completing the investigation, the court will submit a request to discontinue the proceedings and place the man in a psychiatric facility.

Until the case is resolved, the perpetrator remains temporarily arrested.

A tragic discovery in the forest in Kędzierzyn-Koźle

The body of a middle-aged woman was found on August 28 around 18 a random man who was walking in the forest in Kędzierzyn-Koźle. Investigators determined that she was a resident of the nearby Żabiniec housing estate.

The body was found relatively close to the victim's house, about a few hundred meters. The woman most likely went for a walk with her dog, which sat next to her body the entire time.
