He murdered a University of Warsaw employee with an axe. Lawyer of Mieszko R.: Psychiatric hospitals can be more severe than prison
A lawyer discusses the case of Mieszko R., a law student who murdered a University of Warsaw employee, claiming his client was found to be insane during the commission of the crime.
In May of the previous year, Mieszko R., a 22-year-old law student, brutally murdered a worker at the University of Warsaw with an axe and severely injured a security guard. His lawyer, Maciej Zaborowski, emphasizes the complexity of the situation, indicating that understanding the reasons behind such violent acts requires an in-depth analysis of circumstances. In an interview, Zaborowski refers to a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which concludes with certainty that Mieszko R. was completely insane at the time of the crime. Such clear findings from psychiatric experts are rare, suggesting a significant mental health issue that contributed to the violent outburst.
