Marcin Majerkiewicz, 42, chopped Stuart Everett into 27 pieces after brutally bludgeoning the pensioner to death – as a motive for the bloody murder may have been an increase in rent
A horror film fan who was accused of chopping up his housemate before dumping his heart and genitals in a bag for life has been found guilty of murder by a jury. Disturbed Marcin Majerkiewicz, 42, bludgeoned Stuart Everett to death before using a hacksaw to cut his remains into 27 pieces and depositing them in locations across Salford and north Manchester.
The authorities only recovered about one third of the 67-year-old’s body, a court heard. Majerkiewicz – who has characters from gory films tattooed on his body, including Jason from Friday the 13th and the Predator – denied murdering Mr Everett in March last year.
However, a jury at Manchester Crown Court found him guilty following a three-week trial. The thug – who has had his long hair cut short – said nothing as the guilty verdict was returned.
He shook hands with his interpreter before being taken to the cells. The court heard Mr Everett’s body was recovered from locations including Kersal Dale in Salford, Boggart Hole Clough in Blackley, Blackleach Reservoir and Linnyshaw Colliery Wood in Walkden and land off Chesterfield Close in Eccles.
Jurors have heard the two men lived together in the same house on Worsley Road in Winton. Mr Everett was subletting two rooms in his home, one to Majerkiewicz and another to a third man named Michal Polchowski.
Prosecutors have said they did not have to prove a motive for the killing, but claimed that Majerkiewicz had been experiencing a “growing sense of frustration” with Mr Everett.
The court heard Mr Everett was killed at some point between March 27 and 28 last year. He was of Polish heritage and was born with the name Roman Ziemacki. An increase in rent may have led to “tension” between the two men.
Majerkiewicz declined to give any evidence in his own defence.
During the trial the jury heard Mr Everett had been sawn into 27 pieces. His lower torso and thighs were found wrapped in cling film and hidden in an abandoned bunker at the Kersal Dale nature reserve on April 4 last year.
Majerkiewicz was caught on CCTV making numerous trips dumping Everett’s body parts across the region. The sick killer was arrested while sitting on a bus on suspicion of murder as he matched the man in the CCTV footage, the court heard.
He had two mobile phones on him, one belonging to Mr Everett, along with the dead man’s bank cards. Majerkiewicz will be sentenced on 28 March 2025.
