Two men have been sentenced at the Old Bailey for the manslaughter of Lucasz Grabowski, the man who was beaten and dumped outside Gloucestershire Royal Hospital.

Mr Grabowski, 32, died in November last year after being found with serious head injuries in Great Western Road.

After a jury found Tomaz Urbaniak and Krystof Solosciuk guilty at a trial in Bristol last month, the pair were today sentenced at the Old Bailey.

Tomasz Urbaniak, 36, was sentenced to 12 years and six months in prison and Krystof Solosciuk, 39, was sentenced to seven years in prison.

Solosciuk was arrested two days after the incident, and Urbaniak was arrested in Poland in connection with the case in June this year.

Both men had pleaded not guilty to murder but following several days of deliberation, the jury found them guilty of manslaughter in November.

Lukasz had become friendly and involved with the men after meeting them through his gym in Bristol.

During the five-week trial the jury heard that Lukasz had been killed after he stole a large quantity of illegally imported Ukrainian cigarettes from an Organised Crime Group.

The court heard that in November 2018 Lukasz, along with three others, planned to distribute a consignment of such cigarettes around the UK.

A plan was then hatched to steal the load for themselves. Lukasz saw the plan through but once threats from the OCG were received a dispute between him and his friends ensued.

Solosciuk and Urbaniak responded by assaulting Lukasz in an alleyway behind a Gloucester hotel before forcibly bundling him into the rear seats of his own black Audi A7.

A third man, Krystian Czelewicz, 37, is also alleged to have been involved and is still wanted in connection with Lucasz's death.

The Audi was seen to stop 26 minutes later on Great Western Road opposite the entrance to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital.

Lukasz's body was deposited on the pavement after which the Audi sped off from the scene.

On the same day two men visited the home of Lucasz's parents in Poland telling them that he had "done something bad" but if he gave them back what he had stolen it would be all right.

By then Lucasz was already dead.

Krystian Czelewicz, is believed to be in Poland and a European Arrest Warrant is currently in place as the National Crime Agency and Polish authorities try to locate him.
