The Warsaw Court of Appeal has upheld the life sentence of Dorian S., convicted of the rape and murder of Belarusian woman Liza in Warsaw. The verdict has entered into force, TVN24 reported.
The appellate court concluded that the trial court had handled the case properly. The defense of Dorian S. argued that the trial proceedings had been too swift and insisted that the psychiatric evaluation had not sufficiently assessed the man’s sanity at the time of the crime.
Liza was found unconscious in central Warsaw on February 25, 2024. She died in intensive care several days later. The trial began on December 4 of the same year. The 23-year-old Dorian was charged with murder motivated by sexual assault. In court, he admitted to the rape but claimed he had not intended to kill the woman.
