 First Valentine’s Run

Today marked the first ever Valentine’s Run at Jordana Park. The event’s route was in the shape of a heart around the park, totalling in at 5 km. Around 800 people took part in the run. Participants of the run could win restaurant, theater and cinema vouchers during their run. The run had two parts, one for singles and one for couples. [Gazeta Krakowska]

Developments in newborn case

A few days ago, the body of a newborn was found in a town near Krakow. Today it was revealed that the body was that of a girl. An autopsy could not determine the cause of death, but medical examiners were able to determine that the child had come to term and had been dead for some time. The body was discovered by a man called Czesław Kurzej while in the forest collecting wood. The small town is in shock, the case bearing some similarities to the baby Madzia case from Sosnowiec in 2013. The police are currently waiting for lab results. [TVN 24]

During a routine police patrol in Rudawa, officers discovered a couple passed out by the edge of a lake. The man and woman had 2.5% and 3% blood alcohol content and were later taken to the drunk tank. The couple were initially unresponsive and were at the very edge of the lake. [Love Krakow]
