The prosecutors office confirmed on Sunday (local time) that a Polish national had died after being injured by Cherif Chekatt in Tuesdays rampage.
My brother Barto Pedro Orent-Niedzielski has just passed away. He thanks you for the love and strength you have given him, the brother of the 36-year-old victim from the Polish city of Katowice wrote on Facebook. Chekatt, 29, attacked Christmas market shoppers armed with a gun and a knife, before being killed by police two days later.
