Family of Elzbieta Kinczyk release moving statement after her killer is convicted

Ms Kinczyk, better known as Ela, of Northway, Old Town, Leamington, was murdered by Piotr Moczulski in June last year.

Moczulski, 26, of Newgale Walk, Sydenham, was found guilty of murder by a jury at Warwick Crown Court today (Friday).

He will serve a minimum of 32 years in prison before he is eligible for parole.

After hearing the verdict Ela’s family released a statement, which said: “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 six-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 ‘let’s love people now, they go so soon’ inscribed on it.”

More on the trial will be published on this website, the @Leamcourier Twitter feed and next week’s Courier.
