The killer on the bus: Moment police arrest Polish man after he dismembered British pensioner and dumped his body parts at beauty spots
Marcin Majerkiewicz, a 42-year-old Polish man, killed his housemate Stuart Everett, 67, by bludgeoning him with a hammer at their shared Salford home in March 2024. He then dismembered the body using a hacksaw and distributed the remains across locations in Salford and Manchester, but was caught when plain-clothes officers spotted him boarding a bus just three weeks later.
Majerkiewicz cut Everett's body into 27 pieces and removed his face before dumping parts at beauty spots and nature reserves across the region. He accessed his victim's bank accounts and was obsessed with horror films. Police identified him through CCTV footage showing a man carrying bags on bus journeys, which helped them narrow the search to the Winton area and eventually led to his arrest. He was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 34 years.
