A Polish Catholic priest accused of paedophilia in Germany and of similar crimes in his home country was found dead Friday, his body badly burned, at the foot of his family grave.
Identified only as Boguslaw P., he had been on trial in Poland for offences allegedly committed in 2004 and 2005 against a child in Pocking in the German state of Bavaria, where he had served as a priest.
He was also suspected of having committed criminal acts against two boys a decade ago in Turka, southeastern Poland.
“The body was identified by a friend,” Miroslaw Buczek, a prosecutor in Zamosc, eastern Poland, told AFP. He said a suicide could neither be confirmed nor ruled out.
