Post-mortem examination of Krakow attack perpetrator scheduled for Tuesday
On Tuesday, a post-mortem examination of Michał Oksiński, the perpetrator of Saturday's tragedy on Krakow's Main Market Square, will be conducted at the Department of Forensic Medicine of the Jagiellonian University's Collegium Medicum, according to Interia. The 24-year-old died on Monday morning in hospital after being shot by police officers who intervened during the attack.
On Monday, post-mortem examinations of all nine victims of the attack were completed. Six people died on the Krakow market square, while three others—members of the perpetrator's family—were found in his flat in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski. Eryk Stasielak, a prosecutor with the National Prosecutor's Office, announced that detailed forensic medical opinions will not be ready for several weeks.
The prosecutor's office continues its investigation into the events of 7 November. The proceedings cover both the terrorist attack in Krakow and the murders in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski. Investigators are establishing whether other persons could have contributed to the commission of the crimes through instigation or assistance, and the attacker's motives, which remain unknown, are also being examined.
Michał Oksiński held a firearms permit from January 2026. He purchased the first firearm in March. Police found four firearms and several hundred rounds of ammunition in his car and on his person, and seven additional firearms in his flat in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski.
The attack took place on Saturday after 3 p.m. The attacker drove a car onto the Main Market Square, then opened fire on people in the area. Six people were killed, 16 were injured, including two police officers and the perpetrator himself. Krakow will remain in mourning until 11 November; the traditional Independence Day procession and military parade have been cancelled. The Provincial Crisis Management Team will meet on Tuesday to plan the safe conduct of the remaining commemorations. Police are appealing to witnesses of the attack to report to police stations.
