The perpetrator of the Krakow massacre is dead, Polish police announced.

Michal Oksinki, a 24-year-old Polish man, was seriously injured in clashes with officers who responded to the scene and died this morning in hospital.

"We inform you that the perpetrator of the tragic events died this morning in hospital," the police of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship (in the south of the country), of which Krakow - a major tourist destination in Poland - is the capital, reported on X.

The news was also confirmed by the head of the Lesser Poland Region, Krzysztof Klęczar, to TVN24. "At 4:30 a.m., the perpetrator of the attack died in one of Krakow's hospitals," Klęczar said. He added that "the conditions of the other injured—currently 15 are hospitalized in six Krakow hospitals—remain unchanged."

Six people were killed among passers-by and tourists in the Market Square, and three more were found dead at home, 150 kilometers away: the attacker's 53-year-old father, his 52-year-old mother, and his 20-year-old sister. The Prosecutor's Office, which is investigating terrorism charges, is now trying to reconstruct the sequence of the murders and the motive .
