Two people are on trial at Bradford Crown Court for the murder of Jaroslav Daniszewski, 43, whose body was found in a flat on Stead Street in Shipley on 22 April 2025.

Jaroslav Daniszewski, 43, died following an attack at a flat on Stead Street in Shipley on the evening of Easter Sunday, 20 April 2025. His body was found on 22 April when Zbigniew Chlebek, 68, called emergency services. According to the prosecution, Mr Daniszewski was struck in the head and face with an iron during the attack, causing cuts, bruises, a broken jaw and profound injury and bleeding to the brain, rendering him unconscious and defenceless.

Chlebek and Beata Walczak, 58, who was in a relationship with Mr Daniszewski at the time, are on trial at Bradford Crown Court. The court heard that the four men had gathered at Chlebek's flat to socialise and drink alcohol together as part of Easter Sunday celebrations within the Polish community. A fourth man, Bolestaw Roj, made several attempts to call an ambulance during the evening but left the flat, leaving the other three together. Both Chlebek and Walczak deny charges of murder and manslaughter.
