Deník N says a girl is in critical condition; De Telegraaf says a child and a 44-year-old woman both are

A pupil stabbed a 61-year-old teacher to death at a school in Staškov, in northern Slovakia. All five reports we hold agree that one person died and two were wounded. They differ on who the wounded adult was and on how many of the wounded are critical.

What all five agree on. A teacher was killed at a school in Staškov on Tuesday 29 September. Two other people were wounded. One of them is a child. Three reports give the dead teacher's age as 61.

Who did it. Deník N says a pupil in the eighth grade attacked teachers and classmates. Gazeta Wyborcza says the same but hedges it and credits Noviny.sk. Only De Telegraaf gives an age: it calls the suspect a 13-year-old pupil.

Where the accounts split.

Outlet The second wounded adult Who is critical Source it names
Deník N a teacher the girl none
Gazeta Wyborcza a teacher not given Noviny.sk
De Telegraaf "a 44-year-old woman" the child and the woman TASR, citing police
HotNews.ro a teacher (headline) not in the text we hold AFP, rescuers
Efimerida ton Syntakton not given not given none

What is not settled. - Whether the 44-year-old woman in De Telegraaf is the second teacher the other reports describe. - Whether one or two of the wounded are in critical condition. - The suspect's age. Only De Telegraaf gives one. - Who the dead and wounded are. No report names them. - Why it happened. No report gives a motive.

What this is. A pupil attacked people with a knife inside a school in Staškov, a village in Čadca district in northern Slovakia, near the Czech and Polish borders. One teacher died.

How it got here. Slovakia has been a member of the European Union since 2004. Its basic schools (základné školy) teach children from about six to about fifteen, across nine grades. An eighth-grader is usually 13 or 14. The state runs the school system, and schools answer to the education ministry. Knife attacks at Slovak schools are rare, but this is not the first. In January 2025 a fatal stabbing at a secondary school in Spišská Stará Ves, in the east of the country, started a national argument about school safety. Efimerida ton Syntakton says the new attack brings earlier violence in Slovak schools back into view, but it does not name those cases.

Who is involved. The police are investigating. The rescue service treated the wounded. TASR, Slovakia's state news agency, carried the police account that De Telegraaf relays. Noviny.sk, a Slovak news site, is Gazeta Wyborcza's source. Deník N's headline says a minister warned people not to spread speculation. The text we hold does not name the minister.

What is at stake. Under Slovak law, criminal responsibility starts at 14. If the suspect is 13, as De Telegraaf reports, the case would be handled as one involving a child, not as a criminal trial. That makes the age more than a detail. The attack is also likely to reopen the debate on security in schools.

Where it stands. One teacher is dead. A child is in critical condition, and De Telegraaf says the wounded woman is too. The suspect is a pupil at the school. We hold no report from a Slovak outlet, and none of the reports we hold gives a motive.

What is being argued about

  • Whether the second wounded adult was a teacher or 'a 44-year-old woman'
  • Whether one or two of the wounded are in critical condition
  • The suspect's age: 13, according to De Telegraaf alone
  • No report names the dead teacher or the wounded

The bias in this coverageBias

One dead, two wounded, but who is critical differs

All five reports give one dead and two wounded. One says only the girl is critical, and another says both the child and the adult are. No report names any victim, and three give the dead teacher's age.

5 reports giving one dead 0 reports naming a victim 3 reports giving the dead teacher's age 3 reports calling the second adult a teacher
Scored without the mastheads. Where the two passes differ, both are kept.
