In Poland, relatives refuse to bury murder suspect next to deceased family members

Preparations for the victims' funeral

A funeral ceremony for three family members will take place on 16 November in the village of Wasnów, located in Poland's Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship. The victims are 53-year-old Janusz, his wife Renata (51), and their 21-year-old daughter Magdalena. Their bodies were discovered on 7 November in an apartment in the city of Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski.

Investigation's version and consequences of the attack

Investigators believe that 24-year-old Michał Oksyński killed his parents and sister. After committing the crime, he allegedly moved to Kraków, where he opened fire on a crowd of people near the Main Market Square. Six people died as a result of this attack, and several others were injured. The suspect was wounded during a police operation, and he died in a medical facility on 9 November.

Relatives' stance on burying the suspect

The family has decided to bury the three deceased together. At the same time, relatives categorically refused to bury Michał Oksyński next to them. The relatives also do not intend to take on the organisation of a funeral ceremony for the man suspected of murder.

Uncertainty regarding the burial site

It remains unclear where and when the 24-year-old Michał Oksyński will be buried. If none of the relatives agree to take his body, responsibility for organising the burial may fall to the Kraków city authorities.

The prosecutor's office confirmed that this issue remains open, but did not disclose any further details at this time.
