During his appearance in the Gliwice Court, the accused revealed that he had been walking around town looking for a victim because he had been thinking about killing someone. He said, “I gave her the choice of going home or to me. She decided to go to me. We sat there, talked about nothing, then she fell asleep. I walked around the room, tried to wake her up, but I couldn't. Then I tossed a coin, it landed heads so I killed her.”

He further said, “I don't know why I did it. Certain things happen, but I have no influence on them. Sometimes I toss a coin when I have a difficult choice. I sat on her chest and started to strangle her. I chose strangulation because then there is no blood. She was trying to breathe. She had no strength to fight. She tried to resist but it was too late.”

As the victim's devastated parents and friends sat and listened, Hepa confessed to raping her after killing her. He said, “After I killed her, I took her clothes off her and then I had sex with her. Then I got dressed and tried to hide the body. I wasn't thinking rationally. I put Wiktoria's body in a bag and wrapped it in a blanket. I planned to burn it. I thought I would feel better if I committed murder.”

The horrific murder that happened in August 2023, is still under trial. The accused, who was arrested hours after the crime, has been in custody ever since and is facing life in prison. The first hearing took place on January 8 and the trial will resume on February 12, 2025.
