On Tuesday, 13 October, in the morning, the bodies of four people were found in a block of flats on the Pod Dalnią estate in Kielce. Prosecutors are mainly considering a murder-suicide, while neighbours describe a family that caused no problems.
As Sub-Inspector Małgorzata Perkowska-Kiepas of the Kielce Municipal Police Headquarters said (quoted by Polsat News), a report came in a little after 7:00 a.m. It concerned a man showing no signs of life who was lying by the balcony on the first floor of the block. Access to the flat was hindered by an aggressive dog, which police officers and shelter staff caught. Inside, the bodies of three more people were found: a woman and two young men. Police are establishing their identities and the circumstances of the incident, and the activities are being carried out under the supervision of a prosecutor.
The prosecutors' hypothesis
Daniel Prokopowicz, spokesperson for the Regional Prosecutor’s Office in Kielce, quoted by the media, named a murder-suicide as the most likely scenario, meaning the killing of three people in the flat and the suicide of the perpetrator. He stressed that this is not a final assessment. We described the details in our first article about the tragedy on the Pod Dalnią estate.
Neighbours: "so quiet"
According to Wirtualna Polska, which cites conversations Radio Eska had with residents, neighbours cannot believe what happened. They say the family was doing well and the man seemed calm. These are witness accounts, not findings of the investigators. Wp.pl reported on the bodies of a four-person family, but neither the police nor the prosecutors have officially confirmed the victims’ relationships.
What has not been disclosed
As of publication, the identities and ages of the deceased, the causes of death, and whether anyone is being sought in the case have not been officially disclosed. Final conclusions will come from the crime scene examination and autopsies.
