Guest Roman Chyla Posted January 4, 2004 ...this was a domestic in which his wife stabbed him.........in the head.... Thanks for that MD Any idea where or when ? Edward Jancarz, former Wimbledon number one, and the time the most successful rider in Polish speedway history died in January 1992 following a stabbing incident at his Gorzow flat. Jancarz and his second wife were involved in a furious row that turned into tragedy. She was charged and sentenced for the killing. Jancarz, who was reportedly under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident, suffered three knife wounds to his upper body. It was the third which severed a main artery in his shoulder, causing intensive bleeding and his dead at around 8 pm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted January 5, 2004 Okay, fair enough. It's just that I can remember him riding very well which makes it a bit more personal and I thought you were perhaps a youngster wanting to know all the gory details. Sorry. I can see now that you were genuinely interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miro 9 Posted January 6, 2004 Thank you for the details on the death of Edward Jancarz I had heard several versions of his death - that it was suicide by gun, that he had been shot by his wife and worst that he had killed his wife before killing himself...so rather than being morbid I'm grateful now that the record has been put straight. RIP an immaculate Speedway rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
