Priest Murdered in Poland, Another Survives in Singapore
A week earlier he had been the victim of a brutal robbery attempt. The clergyman was taken to hospital and his condition was immediately described as very serious.
A 27-year-old man is in custody as a suspect in the case. He has been charged with attempted murder.
The perpetrator struck the priest on the head with a metal axe, causing a fractured skull bone and swelling of the brain tissue.
A charismatic clergyman, Revd Lachowicz had been the parish priest of St Brother Albert's parish since 1990. He was known for his patriotic views.
In Singapore, Revd Christopher Lee, 57, the parish priest of St Joseph's Church in the west of the city centre, was stabbed during a "children's Eucharist" on Saturday night. The attacker was known for his violence and drug abuse.
Police say the priest is in a stable condition. Parishioners disarmed the 37-year-old attacker, a Christian from Singapore.
Cardinal William Goh said he was shocked by the attack and worried about the possible psychological impact on the children present at the Eucharist.
