On Friday, February 27, 2026, a press conference was held at the District Attorney's Office in Strzelce Opolskie, during which deputy district attorney Piotr Krzemionka-Kowalski and spokesman for the District Attorney's Office in Opole Stanisław Bar revealed new key information on the double homicide in Kadłub village. 17-year-old Luke G., who murdered his 38-year-old stepfather and 87-year-old great-grandmother last Wednesday, He heard the charge of committing two murders with particular cruelty. The prosecution exacerbated the original charges after preliminary autopsy results, which confirmed the extremely violent nature of the attack—many chopped and cut wounds caused to the victims during sleep.
The teenager was brought to the DA's office this morning and interrogated for many hours. As D.A. Krzemionka-Kowalski stressed, Luke G. "he has provided very extensive explanations and in detail described the crimes committed." He's fully confessed.. Still, investigators still can't conclusively determine the true motive – the boy talked about problems at work (mobbing from a colleague) and family tensions, but The prosecution considers these translations to be unconvincing. "The recital remains unclear to us," said the prosecutor's representative.
The most important information from the conference is the issue of punishment. Because Łukasz G. is only 17 years old, Polish law does not allow the sentence of life imprisonment. Even if he is convicted as an adult (which is possible in the case of particularly serious crimes committed by minors over the age of 15), the maximum penalty which threatens him shall be 30 years imprisonment (with a lower limit of 15 years). The District Court in Strzelce Opolskie has already applied three-month interim detention to him.
The prosecutors also stressed that the investigation is under way. Further investigation of traces, analysis of secure recordings (including one that the 17-year-old himself posted on YouTube) and psychiatric and psychological expertise are ongoing. The appeal for respect for victims and not making drastic films available from the scene was repeated once again – both police and prosecutors ask media and internet users to refrain from publishing materials that further traumatize the family of the murdered.
The case shook not only the Opolszew, but the whole Poland. The peaceful village of Kadłub has become a symbol of how quickly the frustrations of a young man can turn into an unimaginable tragedy. Łukasz G. remains in custody, and the D.A. announces that further information will only be provided as the investigation progresses. For now, one thing is certain: for this crime, a 17-year-old will answer to the court, but the highest possible punishment will be much more mild than a full-time person.
