The Jelenia Góra Regional Court sentenced Jarosław H. to life imprisonment. The Bolesławiec District Prosecutor’s Office accused him of committing two murders.
The crimes took place at the beginning of May 2017 in Łaziska. On 5 May, the body of a man was discovered on one of the properties. The secured evidence indicated that he had been killed with a blunt-edged instrument.
Several days later, the body of another man was discovered in one of the houses in the same village. The secured evidence indicated that he had been killed in a similar manner. This was confirmed by the forensic pathologist’s opinion, which described the mechanism by which the victims’ injuries had been inflicted.
A resident of the village, Jarosław H.—an acquaintance of both victims—was arrested.
The suspect was charged with two counts of murder. He did not plead guilty. At the request of the Bolesławiec District Prosecutor’s Office, he was remanded in custody.
A meticulous investigation was conducted; it confirmed that H. had committed the murders. The first victim was killed during the night of 1–2 May 2017, while the second crime was committed on 5 May 2017. Among other things, genetic material from both victims was found on clothing belonging to the suspect.
The likely motive for the crimes was that both victims owed the accused small amounts of money. One of them was supposed to pay him back 50 zlotys.
In March 2018, the Bolesławiec District Prosecutor’s Office filed an indictment against the man.
In its judgment of 30 January 2019, the Jelenia Góra Regional Court found the accused guilty of the murders with which he had been charged and sentenced him to life imprisonment, stipulating at the same time that he would not be eligible to apply for conditional early release before serving 30 years of his sentence.
The judgment is not final.
Interestingly, the man is from Szczyrk. He came to Łaziska for work.
