A WOMAN who stabbed her boyfriend to death after she found him speaking to his wife has been jailed for 16 years.
Joanna Wronska into partner Marcin Koziol’s heart – only to ring the emergency services and tell them he “injured himself”;;.
Wronska was jealous and “possessive”;; of Marcin’s ongoing contact with his estranged and attacked him in an “explosive loss of temper”;;, the heard.
She then made a 999 call claiming her partner had “injured himself with a knife”;;.
When the cops arrived, they found Marcin naked and bleeding on the bed in the flat in , North .
And despite the best efforts by the paramedics, Marcin tragically died from the wounds.
Wronska is said to have gone to great lengths to cover her .
She maintained that her partner stabbed himself in an attempt to take his own life.
But forensic pathologist Dr Brian Rodgers said it was “highly unusual”;; to sever your own ribs when stabbing yourself.
Cops also found a large “freshly washed”;; knife in the kitchen sink, which matched the wounds inflicted on Marcin.
Prosecutor Andrew Thomas KC said: “This was a knife with an eight-inch blade that was thrust with severe force towards the chest and through the rib cage – penetrating the heart and lung.
“Her actions, in removing the knife and washing, “strongly suggest”;; she stabbed Mr Koziol and tried to hide the evidence of her involvement”;;.
In the 999 call played to the jury, Wronska is heard saying: “My partner dead...please help me now.”;;
She kept saying “Marcin, Marcin, Marcin”;; over and over again before saying the word “gone”;;.
It is believed that in a drunken temper, Wronska took the knife and stabbed her partner.
Judge Rhys Rowlands said: “[The attack followed] an explosive drunken loss of temper on your part, to which you stabbed the victim to the chest with a kitchen knife, you then washed the knife in the sink.”;;
He said the blow from the knife had been delivered “with severe force”;;.
Detective Chief Inspector Eleri Thomas said: “Joanna Wronska senselessly and needlessly ended Marcin Koziol’s life – her partner whom she claimed she loved deeply.
“It was a cruel and violent attack on a man who had sought support from her.”;;
Marcin’s wife Marta said: “Joanna has taken all of this from me, I have seen no remorse, she has not even admitted the fact she has done it and I can’t understand this senseless crime
“I can’t understand why she has done it, Marcin was harmless and wouldn’t hurt anyone. I can’t understand why someone would do this and that Marcin has been taken away and I can never bring him back.”;;
The court heard Marcin and Marta had separated after he suffered an injury at work and fell into depression after losing his career.
But she said he was a “gentle giant”;; who would not hurt anyone, and they had remained in contact.
Wronska was jailed for life and told she must serve a minimum of 16 years behind bars less the time she had spent on remand.
