Stanley Saxon, 45, a violent drifter with no fixed address, has been sentenced to a total of nine years and eight months in prison following his guilty pleas at Oxford Crown Court on January 12, 2026. Saxon admitted manslaughter for the death of 67-year-old Leszek Kaminski in Oxford last summer, as well as a grievous bodily harm (GBH) attack in Banbury in 2021.
On July 19, 2025, Saxon delivered a vicious punch to Mr Kaminski on Speedwell Street, St Aldates, Oxford. The blow caused Mr Kaminski to fall and hit his head, resulting in fatal injuries. He died in hospital the following day. Saxon was arrested at the scene and charged two days later.
In addition to the fatal attack, Saxon was responsible for a brutal assault in Banbury town centre on April 27, 2021. During this incident, Saxon punched a man in the face, knocking him to the ground, before repeatedly punching and stamping on the victim’s head. Fortunately, the victim survived the assault.
Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Brangwin commented on the case, stating, “This case has presented a painful set of circumstances for all involved, with devastating and fatal consequences for Mr Kaminski. Saxon’s actions were unlawful and led to the death of a much-loved man. Our thoughts remain with Mr Kaminski’s family and everyone affected by this tragic loss.”
He added, “Saxon also admitted a serious violent assault in Banbury in 2021. He is clearly prone to violent outbursts and will now serve a significant prison sentence for his crimes.”
