'No evidence' Polish killer was far-Right, prosecutors admit as it is revealed he executed parents and sister with two shots to the head each as they slept… and even killed their two cats

Polish prosecutors say there is no evidence that a gunman who allegedly killed six people in central Krakow after shooting his parents and sister at home was linked to the far-Right. Very little information has come out about the shooter, who was shot by police officers and arrested minutes after he opened fire at people from his car in Krakow's historic main square on Saturday. He died in hospital from his injuries on Monday morning.The government had originally said the assailant, identified by prosecutors as Michal Oksinski, a 24-year-old from the town of Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski in southeastern Poland, may have been inspired by far-right ideology, without providing further details.However, on Monday, government officials appeared to backtrack from the initial comments about a far-Right motive.'Until the matter is fully clarified and the authorities are in possession of complete information, it is best to refrain from making comments, even if there are some initial indications,' government spokesperson Adam Szlapka told TVN24. The nationalist opposition criticised initial suggestions that the shooter was linked to the far-Right, with Law & Justice party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski saying those claims were a 'blatant lie'.National Prosecutor's Office spokesperson Przemyslaw Nowak told a press conference on Monday that investigators did not yet know what motivated the killer.He said a yellow flag with a snake and the words 'Don't tread on me' on it, known as the Gadsden flag, was found in his room.
