Polish authorities freed a Roman Catholic priest and a student who were sentenced in the slaying of a policeman nearly five years ago, church sources said. Father Sylwester Zych, 36, and Stanislaw Matejczuk, 28, were sentenced to six years each in 1982. They were tried with two young men who were charged with shooting the policeman in 1982.
