  • Slovak police have failed to secure the court appearances of secret witnesses in the murder case of student Daniel Tupý.
  • The criminal case file of Juraj Ondrejčák, also relevant to the investigation, could not be secured.
  • The report indicates procedural shortcomings in the investigation and prosecution of the case.

Slovak police have encountered significant difficulties in advancing the murder investigation of student Daniel Tupý, notably failing to secure the court appearances of crucial secret witnesses. This procedural lapse raises questions about the progress and integrity of the prosecution.

Adding to the challenges, the police were also unable to secure the criminal case file pertaining to Juraj Ondrejčák. The relevance of this file to the Tupý murder investigation is not explicitly detailed, but its absence suggests potential complications or missed connections in the case.

These failures indicate potential shortcomings in the investigative process, impacting the ability of the court to proceed effectively. The inability to guarantee witness testimony or access relevant case files could hinder the pursuit of justice for Daniel Tupý and complicate the legal proceedings against any potential suspects.
