description: "Krystian Bala is a Polish murderer, self-published writer, and photographer. In 2000, Bala murdered Dariusz Janiszewski, a small business owner in Wrocław, after Janiszewski went on a date with Bala's wife. The case was not solved until three years later, when a detective linked the murder to events in Bala's 2003 novel Amok, which contained events that were incredibly similar to the murder and details that would be only known by the murderer. Bala was sentenced to 25 years in prison."
