Radłów murder: 38-year-old Dawid P. charged with killing 34-year-old Paweł I.

On 19 May 2026, a dispute between two men drinking alcohol in the Park Dolańskich in Radłów, Tarnów district, escalated when 38‑year‑old Dawid P. attacked his 34‑year‑old companion Paweł I. The assault left Paweł with severe head injuries; he was taken to hospital and died on 21 May.

Dawid P. was detained on 20 May after resisting police, and the Tarnów District Prosecutor’s Office has formally charged him with murder. He also faces additional charges of abusing his mother and assaulting police officers, offenses he is alleged to have committed while on parole after serving a sentence for robbery. Prosecutors indicate the murder charge was committed in recidivism and could carry a potential life‑sentence.

The investigation remains ongoing, with further procedural steps anticipated.
