On February 25-26, 2026, in the village of Kadłub, Poland, 17-year-old Łukasz G. (online alias h3rkowskyyy) brutally murdered his 38-year-old stepfather and 92-year-old great-grandmother with an axe while they slept. He planned the attack in advance, filmed himself practicing swings in the garage, recorded the killings, and allegedly licked blood from the weapon in one clip. He then uploaded the graphic videos and a short "manifesto" video titled "My Last Statement" online (including on YouTube), where he calmly stated phrases like "Murder is part of life" and described himself as a "family murderer" while attempting to rationalize the acts. Horrified viewers reported the content, enabling police to quickly locate and arrest him hiding in bushes nearby later that day. He confessed to the crimes, provided detailed explanations to investigators and the court (though motives remain unclear or not fully comprehensible to authorities), and was charged with two counts of murder with particular cruelty, facing 15–30 years in prison as he is tried as an adult. The court remanded him in custody for three months. The boy's mother was absent (hospitalized for surgery), sparing her.
