POLAND’S Health Minister Lukasz Szumowski confirmed today that Gdansk city Mayor Pawel Adamowicz died from the stab wounds he sustained while speaking at a charity fundraiser in the city on Sunday night.
The 53-year-old mayor was speaking at the annual nationwide event to raise funds for the country’s hospitals when a man climbed on stage and plunged a knife into his heart.
Mr Adamowicz grabbed his stomach and fell over while the assailant raised his arms in the air, brandishing a 5.6 inch blade, and told the crowd this was an act of political revenge.
