Janina Popielska is stabbed to death, raped and mutilated by serial killer Łucjan Staniak aka The Red Spider of Katowice at the age of 18 in Poznań, Wielkopolska, Poland.

On 2 November the Poznan newspaper Courier Zachodni received a red-ink letter quoting Stefan Zeromsky's 1928 novel 'Popioli': "Only tears of sorrow can wash out the stain of shame, only pangs of suffering can blot out the fires of lust."
