Brutal attack in Leipzig: Found a man's body in the parking lot!

Grünau-Nord, Deutschland - in Leipzig there was a tragic incident that has moved the city considerably in recent years. The body of a 28-year-old man, Pawel S., was discovered in a parking lot of a supermarket. He died more than a year after a brutal assault, which was committed by Kamil B., a Polish guest worker. This was convicted at the Leipzig District Court for dangerous bodily harm with death, after originally an indictment for robbery with death. [LVZ] reports that the severity of the injuries that Pawel S. suffered from the act of violence finally led to his death.

The incident occurred between March 19 and 20 March 2024 in a Monteurs accommodation on Jupiterstrasse in the Grünau-Nord district. Kamil B. and an accomplice attacked Pawel S. with the intention of abandoning his property, including the wallet, laptop as well as vehicle key and papers. This brutal attack occurred while the two men lived together in the accommodation. Kamil B. measures 2.06 meters and weighs 120 kilograms, which made him an impressive opponent. He beat and stepped so violently that he suffered serious injuries, including multiple hematomas and rib fractures. Finally, an outline of the chest cavity led to a hemorrhagic shock and thus to his death, which occurred on March 23, 2024 at the latest.

court judgment and reactions

On June 17, 2025, Kamil B. was sentenced to a prison sentence of five years. The public prosecutor had originally applied for a prison sentence of three and a half years. However, due to the severity of the acts, the court saw it as appropriate to pronounce a longer prison sentence after the accusation of the robbery could not be maintained. Kamil B. has already appealed against the judgment because his defense advocated acquittal.

The surveys of witnesses showed that a person, Mariusz K., confirmed that Pawel S. was beaten and kicked in the Monteur shelter. However, he expressed that he did not dare to call the police or emergency services, for fear of pressure by Kamil B. This illustrates the tense and dangerous situation in the accommodation during the attack. Kamil B. initially had silent on the allegations, but stated that they came to Germany from Poland and had worked as a car mechanic. [LIZ] is aware that the process has not yet ended and four further trial days are planned, by June 10, 2024.

social effects

This tragic case not only raises questions about individual guilt, but also illuminates the risks and challenges with which many migrants are faced in Germany. These dramatic events underline the need to take preventive measures and to improve the social conditions under which many guest workers have to live. The Leipzig region remains affected by these serious crimes that show the city residents and those who have left their home abroad, an uncertain and often dangerous reality.
