Polish woman in Swansea charged with murdering a 6-year-old boy and attempting to kill a 67-year-old man.
A 41-year-old Polish woman, Karolina Ż., living in Swansea, Wales, has been charged with the murder of a 6-year-old boy and the attempted murder of a 67-year-old man, South Wales Police reported on Sunday evening. The boy, Alexander Ż., died at their home on Thursday evening, shortly before Karolina Ż. was arrested. She is scheduled to appear in court in Swansea on Monday.
Possible Familial Connection
While the police statement did not specify their relationship, the shared surname and the fact they lived together suggest the boy might have been Karolina Ż.’s son. The identity and connection of the 67-year-old man to Karolina Ż. remain unknown, as does the location of the attempted murder.
Ongoing Investigation
Authorities have stated they are not seeking anyone else in connection with the boy’s death. Monday’s court session will primarily involve confirming Karolina Ż.’s identity and address, and planning further legal proceedings.
