latest first- December hearing set for Athlone murder conviction in justice case Murder · Co. Roscommon
Patryk Krupa, a 23-year-old man, was beaten unconscious and left to drown in the River Shannon at Bogganfin, Athlone, Co Roscommon, on 20 June 2014. Leszek Sychulec, a Polish cage fighter in his 40s, and Andrzej Gruchacz were charged with his murder and found guilty by a Central Criminal Court jury, receiving mandatory life sentences from Judge Tony Hunt on 13 June 2016. Their appeals were upheld by the Court of Appeal in 2018. Sychulec is now seeking a miscarriage of justice certificate based on undisclosed material relevant to state witnesses, and the Court of Appeal has set a December 2026 hearing for the application.
