In a shocking turn of events, the ex-wife of Przemyslaw Jeziorski, a 43-year-old professor from the University of California, Berkeley, has been arrested for allegedly orchestrating his murder earlier this month in Athens, Greece. According to statements from the victim's family, this tragic incident occurred outside the ex-wife's residence and has been characterized as a gang-style killing.
Przemyslaw Jeziorski was tragically gunned down as he approached his ex-wife's home, where he was visiting to see his children. Reports indicate that he was shot five times by the current partner of his ex-wife. This brutal act has left his family and the academic community in shock. The police in Greece have revealed these details to Jeziorski's brother, further illuminating the circumstances surrounding this heinous crime.
The relationship between Jeziorski and his ex-wife had reportedly become strained due to an ongoing child custody battle. This contentious situation may have contributed to the tragic events that unfolded. As investigations continue, authorities are piecing together the motives behind this alarming crime.
In the wake of these developments, Professor Zsolt Katona, a colleague of Jeziorski's at UC Berkeley, expressed his condolences and concerns. In a statement provided to ABC San Francisco affiliate KGO, Katona remarked, "I have learned about the news that the Greek police made arrests in Przemek's case. I trust that the investigators will continue to work diligently and justice will be served." He emphasized the importance of supporting Jeziorski's brother during this difficult time, particularly regarding the well-being of the children affected by this tragedy.
Alongside the arrest of Jeziorski's ex-wife, authorities have also taken three other men into custody as part of the ongoing investigation. The police are working tirelessly to uncover all aspects of this case, ensuring that justice is pursued for Przemyslaw Jeziorski and his grieving family.
This heartbreaking incident serves as a reminder of the complexities surrounding domestic relationships and the potential for tragedy in custody disputes. As the investigation unfolds, the UC Berkeley community remains hopeful that justice will prevail for Przemyslaw Jeziorski and his loved ones.
