So how was he "murdered"? Please elaborate. --Ghirla | talk 07:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure he was murdered? The article pl:Proces szesnastu states he was "probably murdered" (a big difference from a NPOV), and the article pl:Jan Stanisław Jankowski just says that he died in the USSR. Mieciu K 22:50, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, whether he was murdered or simply allowed to die remains classified (Russian military prosecutor's office declined to start an investigation when asked by the families of those tried in the Trial of the Sixteen), I elaborated on that one and added one source. On a sidenote, it is highly doubtful he died on his own though. Halibu tt 22:32, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
