An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday of the attacker, who died on Monday in a Krakow hospital. On Saturday, November 7, 24-year-old Michał Oksiński drove his car onto the Main Market Square in Krakow and then opened fire with an automatic weapon on random people. Six people were killed and 15 injured, including two policemen.
Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek said on Tuesday that traces of visiting websites related to Anders Breivik were found on the attacker's computer.
I can already confirm certain information because the services have access to the perpetrator's computer. You can actually see the visits to websites that concerned Anders Breivik, the right-wing extremist who committed the dramatic massacre on the island of Utoya, said Waldemar Żurek on Tuesday in an interview on Radio Kraków.
He added that investigators also secured the perpetrator's workplace.
There is also symbolism there that may point to this thread (right-wing extremism). So this right-wing extremism is one thing - he pointed out.
He admitted that the perpetrator had not left any letter or message.
A muffler was found in the car
The bodies of his parents and sister were found in the apartment in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, where Michał Oksiński lived with his family. However, neighbors reported that they did not hear any shots. Investigators also did not find a silencer at the scene.
Now the Minister of Justice, citing the latest findings of investigators, has announced that the silencer was found in the perpetrator's car.
A lot of evidence has been collected, but we are constantly analyzing it, and you will be kept informed. The perpetrator is dead and the proceedings against him should normally be discontinued. We are still conducting this investigation from a broader perspective, that is: what contacts he had, whether he acted alone, whether something inspired him more or less. We need to understand this very deeply, said the minister.
