Marcin Majerkiewicz’s twisted final act after hacking housemate into 27 pieces
Monster Marcin Majerkiewicz brutally murdered his housemate before dismembering his body in a warped plot to cover his heinous crime. The twisted killer, 42, has now been jailed to life with a minimum term of 34 years.
His sentencing comes after Majerkiewicz was last week found guilty of brutally murdering 67-year-old Stuart Everett. The rampage saw Majerkiewicz bludgeon Mr Everett to death before cutting his body up with a hacksaw into 27 pieces and dumping the parts in different areas across Salford and north Manchester.
Majerkiewicz’s final act of cruelty means only a third of the victim’s body has been found. Mr Everett, also known as Roman Ziemacki, was sub-letting a room in his home on Worsley Road, Winton, to Majerkiewicz and another to a man called Michal Polchowski. The court heard that an increase in rent may have led to “tension” between the two men, with prosecutors claiming that the killer had been experiencing a “growing sense of tension” with Mr Everett.
Vile Majerkiewicz – who has characters from gory films tattooed on his body, including Jason from Friday the 13th and the Predator – hacked his housemate’s body up into 27 pieces, depositing the victim’s heart and genatalia into separate bags. The way in which the killer sickeningly dumped Mr Everett’s remains has caused further agony for the victim’s family.
Jurors at Manchester Crown Court heard how three plastic bags containing human remains were discovered on nearby Chesterfield Close. One bag contained thigh skin and muscle, genitalia and part of the lung and skin. A second bag contained a kidney, skin and further muscle while a third bag contained the heart and part of the right lung.
Jason Pitter, KC, prosecuting, told the jury that Mr Everett’s lower torso and thighs were found in a wooded area within Kersal Dale nature reserve in Salford on April 4 last year. He said: “They had been hidden in an abandoned bunker there wrapped in cling film. For obvious reasons it was not known who that person, or who those parts belonged to, was.
“What was apparent was that it must have been a man who had been, it transpired, sawn into pieces. That initial gruesome finding was to trigger investigations that led to, a number of weeks later, further parts, including parts of his skull, and ear over various locations in the Greater Manchester area.”
Mr Pitter said that the first discovery of remains came on April 4 last year, when a member of the public discovered them in the bunker at Kersal Dale. He said: “Whilst those body parts were recovered by the police for examination, it could not, for obvious reasons, despite preliminary tests being done, it could not be identified whose body they belonged to at that stage.”
The court heard “extensive” enquiries were undertaken, including obtaining CCTV footage, telecommunications data, emails and banking transactions. Mr Pitter said police discovered footage which showed a man entering Kersal Dale and walking near where the remains were deposited at about 5pm on April 2, holding a “heavy, blue bag for life”.
Prosecutors said they did not have to prove a motive for the killing, but claimed that Mr Majerkiewicz had been experiencing a “growing sense of frustration” with Mr Everett.
Mr Pitter claimed there was also ‘tension’ after Mr Everett informed Mr Majerkiewicz that his rent was increasing. He added that Majerkiewicz and Mr Everett were close. “That precise nature of the relationship with Stuart is not entirely clear. What can be said is that they were close, as evidenced by some of the communications, in particular from Stuart,” he claimed.
“That closeness, it would appear to have enabled the defendant to access and take some control of the identity of Stuart Everett, in particular e-mail and telephone services, especially after Stuart Everett’s death.”
