Father 'killed six people including his wife and two children because he could not face marriage break-up'

A father killed six people including his wife and two young children in a brutal knife attack because he could not face the break-up of his marriage, a court heard today. Damian Rzeszowski, 31, is accused of murdering his wife Izabela Rzeszowska, 30, along with their daughter Kinga, five, and two-year-old son Kacper, in St Helier, Jersey, on August 14 last year. The Polish national is also accused of murdering his wife’s father Marek Garstka, 56, her friend Marta De La Haye, 34, and Mrs De La Haye’s five-year-old daughter Julia. Rzeszowski pleaded guilty to manslaughter through diminished responsibility in April, but the manslaughter pleas were not accepted by the Crown, which argues the defendant was not suffering an 'abnormality of the mind' when the attacks took place. The Royal Court in St Helier heard that Rzeszowski’s rampage took place against a backdrop of increasing marital difficulties between himself and his wife.
