PANAJI: Crime branch sleuths on Saturday arrested a Polish contract killer in Chopdem, Pernem. He is wanted by the German police for killing a
businessman in that country in November last year and had been hiding in Goa since January.

According to police sources, Adam Pyotr Mancic was paid e25,000 to get rid of the businessman. On November 3, 2008 he shot the man in his head, heart and back and on November 20 landed in Mumbai on a flight from Berlin.

“We had information that Mancic, who is wanted by the Interpol, was hiding in Goa. We received the arrest warrant issued against him by a German court through the CBI and the warrant was executed by the crime branch. He will be handed over to the CBI soon,” said Atmaram Deshpande, SP (PRO).

Mancic, who is believed to be in his early thirties, has been constantly changing his base in Goa.

“Somewhere in January he came to Goa and first stayed in Arambol, then shifted to Canacona, later moved to Ashvem and a week ago shifted to Chopdem,” sources said.

The contract killer was picked up because the rival businessman who ordered the killing was arrested in Germany and spilled the beans, sources said.
