Recent developments in the case of Jacek Jaworek, whose body was discovered near Dąbrowa Zielona, have raised intriguing questions about his final days. According to criminologist Professor Brunon Hołyst, evidence suggests Jaworek received assistance, as his appearance indicated he had come from a nearby apartment before his apparent suicide.
Jaworek, the prime suspect in a triple homicide, had been on the run for three years. Polish “headhunters” had previously shown success in tracking fugitives, yet Jaworek remained elusive. Professor Hołyst criticized the initial search efforts, noting a quick shift to the suicide theory after no immediate results.
The DNA tests confirmed that the remains found were indeed Jaworek’s. The discovery site was approximately one kilometer from the cemetery where his victims were buried and about five kilometers from the crime scene in Borowce. Jaworek had allegedly shot his brother, sister-in-law, and 17-year-old nephew during a family dispute over property in July 2021. A 13-year-old nephew survived by hiding and fleeing.
Despite roadblocks, helicopters, drones, and sniffer dogs, Jaworek evaded capture, leading investigators to believe he might have been hiding abroad. His name was eventually placed on the EU’s most-wanted list.
On July 19th, Jaworek’s body was found with a gunshot wound to the head near a local sports field. Initial forensic examinations pointed to suicide, and a firearm was discovered at the scene. However, Professor Hołyst questioned this, arguing that the body’s position did not indicate suicide. He also dismissed claims that Jaworek had been coerced into taking his own life, suggesting instead that psychological fatigue and remorse might have driven him to the act.
The unresolved questions surrounding Jaworek’s death, including the potential involvement of an accomplice, continue to spark debate. As investigations proceed, the tragic narrative of crime and its aftermath remains under close scrutiny.
