Arrest over murder of Polish man

A 25-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested in Poland in connection with the murder of a Polish man whose body was found at a flat in Edinburgh.

Maciej Ciania was found dead at his flat in Dickson Street, Leith, on 14 January. It is thought the 34-year-old could have been dead for up to two days before his flatmate discovered the body.

Police launched an inquiry into the “violent and brutal” murder, circulating appeals for information throughout the UK.

Yesterday Lothian and Borders Police said a 25-year-old man has been arrested in Poland on a European arrest warrant in connection with Ciania’s murder and will appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.

Ciania’s sister Aleksandra, 42, has spoken of her devastation over the loss of her “much-loved” brother and urged anyone with any information to contact police.
