Ermatati Rodgers

There was "a determination and a coldness about him". The words of the senior investigating officer at the end of the trial of Lukasz Reszpondek this afternoon he was found guilty of mudering Ermatati Rodgers from Gwersyllt, near Wrexham. The 30 year old Polish man had strangled her in his flat and then buried her body at a remote beauty spot he recorded location in his Sat Nav system. During the trial, at Mold Crown Could, the jury heard how police had found his DNA on Ermatati's mattress and photo's of her in her underwear on his digital camera. It was also revealed he'd been jailed, last year, for possessing indecent images of children.
