A man described as a 'violent thug' who murdered 24-year-old Kamil Milczarczyk in Hull City Centre has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 23-years.
Brandon Thompson, 22, of Clanthorpe, Hull, was charged with Kamil’s murder, possession of an offensive weapon and violent disorder and entered a not guilty plea, denying his involvement in Kamil’s death.
On Friday, 24 March 2023, Police were alerted by members of the public that a man had been stabbed following a large altercation between a group of people on Princes Dock Street in Hull.
They discovered Kamil Milczarcyk laid in the street having sustained a stab wound to his chest, and immediately began first aid treatment before paramedics arrived at the scene.
Kamil was transported to hospital, however, despite the efforts of medical staff, Kamil died shortly after from his injuries and a murder investigation was launched.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Nicole Elliott, leading the investigation into Kamil’s murder, said: “An innocuous incident in a bar between two groups, that Kamil wasn’t even present at, sparked the chain of events that saw Brandon Thompson deliberately and knowingly armed with a knife and the other offenders heading into the city centre to seek them out, ending Kamil’s life and causing devastation to his family.
“Kamil was a young man with his whole future ahead of him. He was just enjoying a night out with his friends when he was viciously attacked in a senseless act and left fighting for his life as the group ran away and our enquiries swiftly commenced to identify and locate all of them involved.”
After almost six weeks, on Thursday 7 November, a jury returned a guilty verdict and Brandon Thompson was convicted of Kamil’s murde
Appearing at Hull Crown Court today, Thompson was sentenced life in prison, with a minimum term of 23-years.
He was also sentenced to three-years for violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon to run concurrently.
Alongside Thompson, 10 other men also entered guilty pleas to violent disorder at an earlier hearing and returned to Hull Crown Court today for sentencing.
