Polish police arrested two men linked to the kidnapping and torture of a 26‑year‑old, after the victim was discovered in a local shop where he had asked for assistance.
Police Arrest Two Men in Connection with Abduction
Polish authorities in Konin detained two men suspected of abducting and holding a 26‑year‑old victim, as reported by the Gazeta Wyborcza. The first suspect was apprehended on Monday, August 18, in a shop in Konin, after a customer requested help. The victim, a man with facial abrasions, was accompanied by a young man who raised his arm to cover the victim’s eye. Initial speculation of a robbery attempt was quickly dismissed when evidence suggested a far more serious crime involving abduction and further offenses.
Revenge Motive Uncovered
The investigation revealed that the abduction was motivated as retaliation by the perpetrator’s former partner. A 24‑year‑old man, already under a court order preventing him from contacting her, received a call from her requesting his presence at her apartment. Two other men were allegedly instructed to handcuff and imprison him. The 26‑year‑old was subjected to torture and threatened with sexual assault. Police recovered the woman from the dwelling, and a third suspect remains at large.
Charges Filed and Temporary Arrests
Police prosecutors charged the 26‑year‑old woman and the 24‑year‑old man with sexual and moral offenses, as well as crimes against life, health, and property. A court ordered a three‑month provisional arrest for the two. Additionally, a provisional arrest was requested for the third, missing suspect. Details of the case remain undisclosed by the investigators.
