Trial of former priest in Poland

Overview

The trial of former priest Mirosław M. has begun at the District Court in Radom. He is accused of the July 2025 murder of Anatol C., a man experiencing homelessness, and a prior attempted murder.

Prosecutors allege the motive was a property dispute involving real estate donated by the victim to the priest in exchange for housing assistance. Investigators claim that during a car ride, the defendant struck the victim with an axe, doused him in gasoline, and set him on fire.

Psychiatric experts have determined the defendant is fully sane and criminally responsible. He faces potential sentences ranging from 15 years to life imprisonment.
