Negligence by the police is a possibility, but it would also require negligence by the doctor performing the post mortem and then by the Coroner. Such a combination is fairly unlikely.

Why do you think that?
For example, in case of Rotherham scandal all kinds of services failed - the police, social services...

Btw, how likely it is for a woman to suffer a stroke during a gang rape? How often do you hear about such stuff? I only heard about one such case. But it happened.

So it may be such "freak" case - I wouldn't rule it out. You never know and that's why you should investigate properly.

Not jumping to any conclusions about the mother, poor lady. Just stating

Maf also just stated that no police force is perfect and overworked and understaffed and underfunded police force may want to "get it over with" and close the case.

it's not unusual for a parent in extreme grief to find it impossible to accept that their child died a natural death.

I perfectly realise this. But the accusations of the mother and the detective concerning negligence by the police are serious. It's not just about coroner's report.

How did the computer turn on?

What (if anything) did the police say about that?

No idea, it doesn't look like they said anything about it...

That's all there is written about the reaction of the British police:

"The representatives of the British police didn't agree to talk to 'Intervention' in front of a camera. According to them Sandra died from natural causes. The investigation therefore was discontinued."

That's one of the things that are strange to me, btw. It's literally the job of the police press officer to talk to the media (yes, including in front of cameras)... Isn't in the UK also like that? 🤨

According to the detective the police assumed from the start that Sandra died from natural causes and hence all the negligence. Which is another strange thing - did they just walk into the room, look at a dead girl lying on the couch and just assumed that she died of natural causes and so they didn't bother to secure evidence, DNA? What the hell? Do they have X-rays in their eyes and can perform instant autopsy? lol

I mean, the fact that they didn't do the swab in case she got raped is honestly shocking to me. That's like the basic thing, one of the first things you would do in such a case, imho. Mind-blowing...

Yes you did "start" this.

You "start" ridiculous arguments with periodical regularity.

No, I didn't start any argument. I shared the news and you chose to comment on my post. Which is fine, that's what forums are for, so stop whining.

And the bizarre thing is that it's on the basis of one online article.

It's on the basis of a few articles and Polsat News "Intervention" TV reportage (the reporter went to London). You can watch it here (it shows the video of neighbours finding the body):

interwencja.polsatnews.pl/reportaz/2024-05-06/tajemnicza-smierc-19-latki-w-londynie-polska-prokuratura-reaguje/

and can say what they like without consequences.

Without consequences? Now the whole of Poland knows about this case. If it turns out that the detective is lying/scamming a grieving mother for money he will be finished. Everybody will know.

You should drop this. It is undignified

Drop what? Discussing events concerning Polish citizens? I will definitely not stop. I will discuss whatever I want and you have no right to tell me what to do.

Are you looking in the mirror?

It doesn't look like he does.

The "points" that Paulina was ranting about have all been addressed.

No, they haven't been.

She doesn't mention the Coroner's verdict since she doesn't even know.

As it was already explained to you - coroner's "verdict" is that Sandra's "heart stopped beating". Are you satisfied with such "verdict"? Because I'm not and Sandra's mother clearly isn't satisfied either.

For some reason the article doesn't mention it

Why are you lying?
Paulina   
9 May 2024
UK, Ireland / Polish immigrants in the UK - victims or criminals?! [236]

Yes you did.

No, I didn't.

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting trash about a tragic death from natural causes.

So according to you the mother is spreading "trash" about the death of her own daughter? Because I only wrote what she and the detective hired by her are saying.

Jon357, what you're trying to do now is honestly sickening. But you won't discourage me from writing about this case. You can post all kind of crap you want about me, but if I find out something more about Sandra's death I will write about it and you won't stop me. Especially considering that, as you wrote, there's nothing in English about this case.

Paulina should be ashamed of herself.

No, you should be ashamed of yourself.

That isn't a Coroner's verdict. There are three possibilities: accident/misadventure, unlawful killing and natural causes.

I can only guess that it was "natural causes" considering what the British police is saying, but clearly noone who knew Sandra is buying that. It doesn't look like the medical cause of her death was given.

Ashamed of posting the concerns of person closest to the deceased?

Jon357 is just being an obnoxious demagogue. He's trying to shut my mouth, but I'm not going to fall for that. Maybe he thinks I'm attacking his "home & country" lol even though I also criticised Polish police and society on this forum. He's weird like that.

There are three possibilities: accident/misadventure, unlawful killing and natural causes.

No, actually there are more possibilities of conclusions (formerly called verdicts) like, for example:

- industrial diseases
- dependency on drugs or non-dependent abuse of drugs
- lack of care or self-neglect
- suicide
- lawful killing (formerly "justifiable homicide")

... and last but not least:

- open verdict (cause of death unknown or unstated)

And of course there's no serious suggestion of a "screw up".

Of course there is.

There is definitely slight smell of suspicion.

I'd say that it's defenitely more than just "slight".

Bukhara, you might be living in Poland but you are British to the core and your loyalty is clearly to UK

I have the same impression.
Paulina   
9 May 2024
UK, Ireland / Polish immigrants in the UK - victims or criminals?! [236]

I'd forgotten about suicide and open verdicts.

How convenient.
Suicide was ruled out though.

In this case however there doesn't appear to be any grounds for suspicion.

According to you. According to the mother, Sandra's friends (so people who actually knew her), the detective and the reporter (who actually went there) and me - there does appear to be grounds for suspicion. So let us agree to disagree, OK?

I will post an update in this thread when or if there's going to be more info.
Paulina

That's the mother's paraphrasing. It's not the official verdict.

I know. But since we don't know the official conclusion made by the coroner that's all I can quote.

Seeing as the police, the medical department and the Coroner deal with numerous such cases each year, it seems unlikely that there would be such a massive screw up.

I'm sorry, Atch, but massive screw ups do happen in every country, even if in general, usually, the police and coroners are doing a good job. And we won't always know about such screw ups. We only know about this potential screw up, because the mother took it to the media. Not everyone has a parent who would have the balls and strength to do that, for example.

@Paulina, you seem disproportionately upset, almost hysterical.

Really? How does jon357 seem to you then? :))) After all that crap he wrote about me? He didn't seem to be "disproportionately upset, almost hysterical" to you yesterday? Sorry, Atch, but I don't think you're being objective.

We had an argument with jon357 yesterday. As usual he's getting on my nerves with his attitude, that's all.

whether they should have secured the scene etc.

You should always secure the scene and the evidence if you don't know why someone died. So what are you talking about?
Paulina   
10 May 2024

Anyway, at this stage, discussing the details is becoming distasteful

Why on Earth is it "becoming distasteful"? What are you talking about?

let's leave it there and wait to see if there is any update.

That's what I wrote yesterday, but you're starting all over again today.

In the meantime there is a mechanism for appealing a Coroner's verdict if the mother is not satisfied.

We don't know if the mother knew about it at that time and, besides, she may not trust the British police and coroners at this point and maybe that's why she wanted to have a second autopsy in Poland. Either way, Sandra's body is apparently in Poland already, so it's done anyway.

You're accepting every word in the article, listening to a lot of hearsay

No, I'm not. I repeatedly wrote that I'm giving the info that is available. And since the British police didn't respond in any way to the accusations of negligence I'm more inclined to believe the mother, Sandra's friends and the detective FOR NOW, that's all. If you prefer to believe the British police, etc. then that's your choice. It's your business.

Btw, this is what I wrote in my second comment in this thread in response to jon357:

For now it looks to me like shocking police incompetence. We'll see what Polish autopsy will show, but I don't know if it isn't too late - it's been 4 months already... :(

And as you can see my stance didn't change.

English speakers on the forum tend to get very salty any time some aspect of their countries is criticized....

I think it's rather universal in humans lol Although it probably also depends on the level of arrogance, etc.

might uncover things that the mother might have preferred it didn't.

Like what? As a mother I'd prefer for my daughter to die of natural causes rather than get beaten up, raped and murdered...
Paulina   
10 May 2024

Basically straw clutching and particularly aggressive hysteria.

You must be talking about yourself :)))

unable to accept the official findings about her daughter's death.

That's an assumption on your part that she's "unable". You don't know that. Judging by what was written in the articles and said in "Intervention" she has good reasons to think that the police and the coroner didn't do their job.

And in the middle of it all is a grieving mother

You were so terribly concerned yesterday about being respectful towards her and her grief and that she might be reading our comments and today you're shit1ing on her by claiming that she's unable to accept "the truth" and it's all in her head. Wow. That went quick.

Keep arguing.

It takes two to tango, jon357.

as you do every so often (and not particularly well).

Again, you're talking about yourself :))))

It makes no difference to the sad death of a woman.

So how about we call a truce finally? I think we both said all we wanted already, so there's no point in continuing this. This thread shouldn't be about us and our mutual grievances and arguments.
Paulina   
10 May 2024
UK, Ireland / Polish immigrants in the UK - victims or criminals?! [236]

drug use

That was ruled out though. I mean, the toxicology tests didn't show any substances in her blood that could be the cause of her death if that's what you mean.

sex work, random hook ups....

In theory that's possible, of course. However, her friend said in "Intervention" that Sandra never had a boyfriend and noone knew about this (besides the friend, I'm guessing). My guess is that it's possible that she was a virgin.

if the police did their job they would also be considering such possibilities however remote.

Well, I'm afraid it doesn't look like they were very inclined to take all kinds of possibilities into consideration...

Sandra never had a boyfriend and noone knew about this (besides the friend, I'm guessing). My guess is that it's possible that she was a virgin.

And if that's the case then why there was semen on her clothes? And whose semen was that? If that's true that the flatmates weren't even questioned then I'm guessing DNA samples weren't taken from them either.

Btw, important info in case you can't see the aurora borealis with your naked eyes:

cbsnews.com/news/maps-northern-lights-forecast-us-aurora-borealis/

"Officials said people in the southern U.S. who can't see the aurora with their naked eyes could still take some dazzling pictures with their phones.

"Cellphones are much better than our eyes at capturing light," the Space Weather Prediction Center's Brent Gordon told reporters Friday. "Just go out your back door and take a picture with a newer cellphone, and you'd be amazed at what you see in that picture versus what you see with your eyes.""

No, never....

Me neither :((( I found out too late about this yesterday and it sucks bad, because it was visible in my city and the sky was clear enough ;((( Damn it! 😭 I will have to try today in the evening, but, of course, as usual, the weather forecast shows that it's going to be cloudy - that's just my luck... 😞

I can hear the rain pouring down right now, bummer.

Yeah, that sucks... :( Maybe you could try to take photos and film the clouds at least and see what happens... In the video I took it looked like the clouds were pulsating with light even though I didn't see anything with naked eyes.

The sky was already covered with clouds when I took this photo - I don't remember whether it was the normal mode or the night mode, but either way - the sky in my city doesn't have such pinkish/reddish colour after 1 am whatever the camera mode I'd use:

Thanks to the biggest geomagnetic storm in 20 years the aurora borealis was visible in the whole of Poland, even in my city (unfortunately I didn't know about it and so I missed it). However, apparently it may still be visible this weekend, even if not as strong.

We sometimes see them a shade of bright green, very apt!

Wow, that must be awesome... 🥺 How many times did you manage to see them?

Amazing photos!

I agree! I don't think I've seen such photos of "aurora clouds" and those stars shining through the aurora! Wow! 🤩
The author is Ewa Wydrzyńska-Scelina and the photos were taken on Friday/Saturday after midnight :)

Ill have another chance tonight, no rain, partly cloudy, never know...

I hope you'll succeed - fingers crossed! 🤞

Yesterday during sunset big-ass, thick and dark clouds covered the sky in my area, unfortunately :( There was just a tiny fragment of sky left and after sunset I could see a nice turquoise colour of the sky, but I don't know if that was just a post-sunset sky or whether it had anything to do with aurora... The sky cleared only later at night, but I didn't see anything, so I went to sleep...

My parents went to my grandma to the countryside on Saturday, so in theory they should have great conditions - no clouds, dark skies, great view on the horizon, but they didn't see anything during yesterday evening either... :(

I guess you have to get lucky with the location or what? Because look at those photos - they were taken yesterday evening at Chańcza lake in my region (I know this lake, I've been there) at around 22:50 - so magical!: 😍

Those are photos of aurora taken by Piotr Wierzbicki yesterday evening at around 22:00 not far from Toruń (around 17 minutes drive from Toruń) in Piwnice (there's a university astronomical observatory there - you can see Poland's biggest radio telescope in those photos):

Helpful links for those who still want to try to see aurora today:

For people living in Poland - aurora forecast for Poland - you can check the present situation, what was happening earlier and what will happen in around 30 minutes - just choose the hour (for now the map is completely gray, so there's no aurora visible in Poland right now):

meteologix.com/pl/aurora

The world - if you scroll down you can choose "North America", "Europe and Asia" and "Southern hemisphere" to check what are the chances of seeing aurora at your location at the moment (right now it's 0% for both Europe and Asia):

spaceweatherlive.com/pl/aktywnosc-zorzowa/zasieg-zorzy-polarnej.html

Here you can find recent news about solar storms, play the aurora simulation for the planet for today (it doesn't show the latest 2 hours, but can give you some idea about what's going on) and if you scroll down the charts there's also Estimated Planetarny K Index (it doesn't show the latest 3 hours though):

Law / Firearms Law Poland - UK training company [4]

If I was registered as a training company in Poland, even if I didn't live there could I then obtain a license to procure weapon systems?

You need to have permanent residency in Poland in order to get a gun license that would allow you to buy guns. I am not aware of any exceptions to this rule...

Would it be easier for me to find someone or a retailer to obtain the weapons and ammunition and essentially "hire" them?

Probably, especially if you don't plan to live and train people in Poland.

Does anyone know of English speaking law firm that understands firearms laws that could help me?
