Polish Man Charged with Murdering Wiktoria Kozielska

Mateusz Hepa, a 20-year-old Polish man, confessed to murdering 18-year-old Wiktoria Kozielska after tossing a coin to decide her fate. The incident occurred in August 2023 when Kozielska was returning home from a party in Katowice and was lured to Hepa's apartment, where she fell asleep. In a chilling courtroom testimony, Hepa recounted that the coin landed on heads, prompting him to strangle her without any bloodshed, justifying his choice by saying he felt no control over his actions. After killing her, he committed further atrocities with her body before attempting to conceal the crime by wrapping her remains in plastic and calling the police. The trial, which has been emotionally taxing for Kozielska's family, is set to continue as Hepa faces a potential life sentence if convicted. His actions have drawn comparisons to the narrative of the novel 'The Dice Man' which explores decision-making through chance.
