Charges Filed Against Mother, Stepfather, and Two Others
On May 8, 2025, the Regional Prosecutor’s Office in Gdańsk filed an indictment with the District Court in Częstochowa against four individuals linked to the death of 8-year-old Kamil. Charges were brought against the boy’s mother, Magdalena B., her husband Dawid B., as well as Aneta J. and Wojciech J.
The prosecution stated Dawid B. was charged with “the murder of his 8-year-old stepson Kamil M. committed under conditions of recidivism, with particular cruelty.” He was also accused of psychological and physical abuse of his stepsons, Kamil and 7-year-old Fabian, as well as the sexual molestation of a minor victim—specifically “at least twice causing a girl under 15 to submit to another sexual act, involving touching her intimate parts.”
Magdalena B. was charged with “assisting her husband Dawid B. in committing the murder of her 8-year-old son Kamil by leaving the victim in a state of direct life-threatening danger.” She was also accused of “assisting Dawid B. in physically and psychologically abusing with particular cruelty (…) 8-year-old Kamil M. and 7-year-old Fabian M. (…) as well as physical and psychological abuse (…) and at least twice exposing Kamil M. to direct danger of loss of life or serious bodily harm.”
Aneta J. and Wojciech J. were charged with “failing to assist 8-year-old Kamil M., who was in a life-threatening situation, despite the accused being able to help the victim.”
