Swarzędz shooting and murder investigation
Overview
On August 15, 2026, a woman was found unconscious with a critical head wound in a stairwell on Wielka Rybacka Street in Swarzędz, Poland. Preliminary investigations indicated the injury was caused by a gunshot, likely from a black powder weapon. Police launched a large-scale manhunt involving drones, tracking dogs, and air and water searches to locate the suspect, identified as the victim’s former partner.
The victim, identified as 46-year-old Hanna H., later died in the hospital. The suspect, 51-year-old Remigiusz Z., was apprehended two days later while hiding in cardboard boxes near a church. During interrogation, the suspect reportedly admitted to the shooting, claiming he acted ‘out of love.’ Prosecutors intend to upgrade the initial charge of attempted murder to murder.
