A rugby player's tragic death. His partner is now free. An unexpected twist may follow.

District Prosecutor Mariola Maślany explained that the court's decision to lift the arrest does not change the charges. "The court has decided to change the preventive measure. Its decision is final, with no right to appeal," she said.

Paulina S. was released from custody after posting a bail of PLN 50,000. She was also placed under police supervision and banned from leaving the country.

Judge Adam Barczak pointed out the possibility of a different legal classification for the incident. "The appellate court recognized the possibility of classifying the suspect's behavior as acting in self-defense or exceeding the limits of self-defense," he said.

In the court’s opinion, in such a situation, anticipating the imposition of a severe penalty, which was one of the grounds for applying pre-trial detention, is associated with a high risk of error.

Paulina S. comes from a village near Olsztyn. She graduated from hairdressing school and moved to Olsztyn two years ago, where she rented a room. Initially, she was charged with attempted murder, but after Rafał K.'s death, the charge was changed to manslaughter.

Although she has been released from custody, the murder charge remains against her. If found guilty, Paulina S. faces a life sentence. The case of Paulina S. raises many questions and controversies. Was she truly acting in self-defense? Could her behavior be considered excessive? What happened that fateful day within the confines of her apartment in Olsztyn's Old Town? The answers to these questions will only be revealed during further legal proceedings.
