Possible murder of Georgian national in Warsaw
The Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Tbilisi expresses its condolences to the family of the young Georgian man Gizo Bochorishvili killed in Warsaw.
Gizo Bochorishvili departed for Kiev, Ukraine along with his brother two years ago for working purposes. One week ago Gizo moved to Poland and was living in Warsaw with his close friend from the town of Terjola in Georgia, who is now the main suspect in the possible murder.
The two had gotten into a fight while living in a hostel in the city and the friend, so far unnamed, allegedly killed Gizo in his sleep, with a knife being the murder weapon.
Not much is known about either the victim or suspect at this moment, only that Gizo has left behind two sons in his home town in Georgia.
Investigations are underway in Poland but as of yet little is known of the incident, a further statement from the police is expected as investigations unfold. (By Joe Pleavin)
