A Polish man who admitted responsibility for the death of his compatriot earlier this year has been jailed.
At the High Court in Edinburgh today (Monday) Robert Gruszka was sentenced to five years and three months in prison for killing 43-year-old Robert Dudek, whose body was found on ground near to a car park at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, on Sunday 7th April.
Gruszka, 37, had previously pled guilty to culpable homicide after Police Scotland launched a major investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mr Dudek’s death.
Detective Chief Inspector David McLaren, who led the investigation, said: “While nothing can undo the pain caused to Robert Dudek’s family, Gruska’s earlier guilty plea to culpable homicide has spared them the ordeal of a full trial and I sincerely hope they can now begin to move on with their lives.
“Police Scotland is committed to tackling violent crimes and will continue to work alongside our partners at the Crown Office to ensure those responsible for such crimes are brought to justice.”
