Jury Returns Guilty Verdict For Ela's Murder
Polish national Piotr MOCZULSKI, 26 years of Newgale Walk, Leamington Spa, was today (Friday 15 April) at Warwick Crown Court, found guilty of the murder of 23-year-old Elzbieta Kincyzk in June last year.
He has been sentenced to life imprisonment and has been told that he will have to serve at least 32 years before being considered for parole.
Elzbieta, known as Ela by her friends and family, and also a Polish national who was living and working in Leamington Spa, was last seen alive when she went to meet Moczulski near to the Rangemaster factory in the Brunswick area of Leamington around 1pm on Sunday 6 June, 2010.
Her body was found in a field near to Windmill Hill Lane, Chesterton, at shortly after midnight, in the early hours of 17th of June.
Speaking after Moczulski’s conviction for murder, Detective Chief Inspector James Essex who led the investigation into her death said:
“This proved to be an extremely complex and challenging investigation for Warwickshire Police.
“The detailed and painstaking work carried out by many facets of the force was critical in bringing this case to a conclusion today.
“Piotr Moczulski, who was an acquaintance of Ela, became a key suspect from an early stage of the investigation.
“But even when faced with CCTV evidence showing Ela getting into his car and driving off with her in the passenger seat, he continued to deny his involvement in her disappearance and murder.
“Moczulski, who was being monitored by police, led the investigation team to finding Ela’s body in a field off Windmill Hill Lane, Chesterton some ten days after she had gone missing.
“He continues to deny any involvement in her death but the jury on hearing all the evidence has today found him guilty of murder
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those members of the public, particularly those from the Polish community who came forward to give information to the Police during this investigation.
“Moczulski has been convicted of this cruel, brutal and senseless murder and we welcome this sentence.
“Knowing that he is in prison will be a small consolation for Ela’s close knit family, which includes her husband and young son, whom she was devoted to.
“They have all been left devastated by the actions of this man.
Members of Ela’s family were in court throughout the trial. After hearing the guilty verdict, they issued the following statement:
“The last few months have completely changed our lives. How could we accept the thought that the life of the person beloved to us has been taken by someone?
“The pain and suffering in our hearts cannot be described and we will always miss our Ela. When we were notified of the finding of the body, it was like a nightmare one could not wake up from. But this nightmare will never end for us.
“The commandment of love states that “thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” but this psychopath murdered our sister and mother of a 6 year old. What did she do to him to deserve this? What is trust and friendship nowadays? Would it translate to assaulting, raping and murdering?
“Her son Patrys has lost his only mother and will never say “mama” again. Moczulski must bear in mind that the guilty one will be punished.
“We miss Ela a lot and know that she’s always with us, her husband and her son. They had so many plans together, so many of our family memories and conversations.
“What we’re left with now is a block of black marble with “lets love people now, they go so soon” inscribed on it. “
