"Robert was known as a street fighter, both in the UK and Poland, and although he was quite private about it, he did disclose that this had been his main means of making money... I last spoke to Robert about this on the Sunday or Monday prior to the last time I saw him on 15 June 2021 [which was, we interpolate, the following Tuesday, the night of the killing] as he had returned to the accommodation with bleeding knuckles, and I asked him how that had happened. He had said 'very horrible English man I fight'. Robert was very private about the actual details of any altercation he had and would say 'my business' in response to any questions asked."
