Man jailed for fatal attack in Oxford
He'll spend nearly 10 years in prison
A man has been sentenced to nine years and eight months in prison for manslaughter in connection with a fatal incident in Oxford and an earlier assault in Banbury.
Stanley Saxon, 45, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty at Oxford Crown Court on 12th January 2026 to charges including Section 20 GBH for an attack on 27th April 2021 in Banbury town centre.
Saxon received this sentence today (27th February), with a concurrent 19-month term for the GBH offence.
On 19th July 2025, Saxon was involved in a confrontation in Oxford that led to the death of 67-year-old Leszek Kaminski.
Kaminski succumbed to a head injury after Saxon punched him on Speedwell Street, St Aldates.
Saxon was arrested at the scene and charged soon after on 21st July.
Previously, on 27th April 2021 in Banbury town centre, Saxon attacked a man, delivering numerous punches and stomping on his head.
Despite severe injuries, the victim survived the assault.
Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Brangwin from the Major Crime Unit highlighted the seriousness of Saxon's actions.
"This case has presented a painful set of circumstances for all involved, with devastating and fatal consequences for Mr Kaminski," DCI Brangwin said.
“Saxon’s actions were found to be unlawful and resulted in the death of a much-loved person.”
"Our thoughts remain with Mr Kaminski’s family and everyone affected by this devastating and tragic loss," he continued.
