One lecturer dead, another injured after student attacks them with an axe

An unhappy second year student at Gdansk Polytechnic attacked his tutors with an axe. One of them died later in hospital. "Doctor Czeslaw S. feared that student Kamil P. had cheated in his written exams and invited him for a talk. During the discussion the student attacked the tutor with an axe, which he took out of his bag," said Gdansk police spokesperson Marta Grzegorowska. The tutor had been struck in the neck and head, but his life is not endangered. His assistant, who tried to stop the assailant, received a deadly blow to the head. The student was caught by university staff and handed over to the police. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A3) M.M
