A Polish choir’s performance at Oxford’s Remembrance Sunday service carried added significance following recent deaths in Kraków, where an attack on the city’s market square killed six people and injured 16 others.
The Choir of the General Tadeusz Kościuszko Land Forces Academy, based in Wrocław, had been scheduled to participate in the ceremony.
Police reported that three additional bodies had been discovered in the apartment of the alleged gunman.
The bodies were believed to be those of the suspect’s parents and sister.
The six people killed in the market-square attack included four Polish nationals, a British man and a citizen of another country.
Poland’s National Public Prosecutor’s Office has begun an investigation, while memorial events have taken place across the country.
At the Oxford War Memorial on Woodstock Road, City Rector Reverend Anthony Buckley acknowledged the tragedy in Poland and expressed remembrance and prayers for those affected by the violence.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham also conveyed his condolences.
Burnham described the shooting in Kraków as appalling and said that the deaths, injuries and wider consequences had left him shocked and saddened.
Burnham offered support to the families of those killed, the people injured and everyone else affected by the attack.
He added that the United Kingdom stands in solidarity with the people of Poland.
