Dawid Majewicz pleads guilty to culpable homicide in Aberdeen stabbing

Dawid Majewicz, 43, pleaded guilty to culpable homicide after fatally stabbing his friend Jacek Dembinski, 44, during a dispute at an Aberdeen tower block on August 27, 2024. The violence escalated after Majewicz claimed Dembinski struck him with a bottle, leading him to use a kitchen knife during the altercation. Despite undergoing emergency surgery, Dembinski succumbed to his injuries two days later. Initially charged with murder, Majewicz accepted the lesser charge, and sentencing has been postponed for a background report. Majewicz, who has a history of violence and moved to Scotland from Poland in 2008, faces a significant custodial sentence as he awaits his next court appearance. Family members of the victim expressed their devastation over the loss of their 'much-loved' relative.
