Gangland Machete Slaying in Kurdwanów

Thirty-year old Tomasz C., believed to be Cracovia sports club’s supporters’ number-two man, has been brutally killed on the streets of Krakow by a group thought to be supporters of their local rivals Wisła Kraków. The killing occurred at about 10 am this morning in the suburban Krakow neighbourhood of Kurdwanów. According to reports, Tomasz C. was driving on ul. Wysołuchów when three cars forced his vehicle off the road.

Approximately 20 assailants then pulled him from the driver’s seat and attacked him with knives and machetes stabbing and chopping at him over fifty times before leaving him dead.
