Summary
A 19-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a 49-year-old woman whose body was found on August 28 in a forest complex near Kędzierzyn-Koźle. The victim was discovered by a passerby, and police launched an intensive investigation involving forensic analysis and surveillance footage. On September 1, officers spotted a man matching the description near the forest edge and detained him. Inside his backpack, they found a knife and a hammer, along with bloodstains.
