A total of 27 pieces of Stuart Everett were found in the Kersal Dale nature reserve in Salford. Initially, his abdomen and thigh were found wrapped in clingfilm. Upon further investigation, more body parts were recovered. An investigation was launched, and it transpired that a man "was seen entering the pathway nearby carrying a heavy blue bag, walking to the wooded area where the body part was found."
As a result, Marcin Majerkiewicz was arrested on suspicion of the murder of his roommate and subsequent identity theft. A police statement noted that a clean-up operation and blood stains were found at his home. As well as the grizzly scene, two mobile phones were also recovered from his roommate, including one belonging to the dismembered man. To make matters worse, Majerkiewicz also had numerous cards in Everett's name.
Accused Murderer Impersonated His Roommate
The forensic team determined that Everett was killed between March 27 and 28. But, since his death, he had still sent various messages to family. These had been in the form of birthday cards and texts. However, despite trying to steal the identity of his dead roommate, the card was not written using language he would usually use.
The case for stolen identity became stronger when fingerprints belonging to Majerkiewicz were found on the fraudulent cards sent from his roommate. It also appeared that the credit card of the murdered man had been used to pay Majerkiewicz's rent before he declared that he would be moving out.
The prosecution has also revealed that there were several damning texts sent form his phone before the murder. According to the report, he had sent his partner the words "The f—-- heard what I'm planning."
The forensic investigation discovered that the murdered roommate had been beaten to death. Skull fragments indicated that a blunt instrument was used to bash his brains in. After he died, a hacksaw was then used to turn him into manageable pieces.
The investigation is still ongoing.
