Accused of the murder of the mayor of Gdansk pleaded not guilty
The man who inflicted the fatal stab wounds to the mayor of Gdansk Pavel Adamovich, on interrogation in office of public Prosecutor pleaded not guilty in the murder of a politician, reports TASS with reference to the press-Secretary of the district Prosecutor Grażyna, Vavrinyuk.
According to her, the 27-year-old resident of Gdansk, detained after the attack on the mayor, charged with “murder, a motive which deserves special condemnation.”
The Prosecutor’s office appealed to court with request to apply to the accused preventive measure in the form of a temporary arrest. Also with him will work a psychiatrist.
Defendant Stephen V. attacked the mayor of Gdansk on Sunday evening, February 13, during a charity concert. He burst on the scene and was hit several times with a knife policy. After that, the attacker took the microphone and started yelling that he was illegally convicted. As it turned out later, he spent several years in prison for Bank robberies and suffers from mental illness.
The mayor underwent surgery that lasted five hours. However, the doctors were powerless, and on Monday Adamovich died in the hospital.
