Ms Rozycka raised the alarm about her son after returning home from work at the Aghadoe Heights Hotel, one of Killarney’s top hotels, at about 6pm on Sunday.
Karol's father Andrzez Piolunowicz, who was found with serious injuries in the apartment, was transferred from Kerry University Hospital to Cork University Hospital due to the nature of his injuries.
