Woman buried alive: I used diamond ring to escape

[smile72]

LONDON -- A Polish woman has told a British jury how she used her engagement ring to free herself after her boyfriend tried to bury her alive.

Michelina Lewandowska, 27, accuses her partner of attacking her with a Taser at their home, binding her with tape, and then putting her in a cardboard box that he buried in the woods.

Her partner, 25-year-old Marcin Kasprzak, is on trial with another man charged with attempted murder.

"He was putting the soil on top of me. I wanted to reply. I wanted to put my two fingers through the hole but I was afraid if he could see it he may break my fingers with the shovel," she testified Tuesday, according to BBC News.

Lewandowska testified she used her three-stone ring to cut the tape from her legs, then tore apart the box, which she said was buried in about 10 centimeters (4 inches) of soil.

Lewandowska told the court through an interpreter: "I cut the tape from my legs with this ring. I put the ring back on my finger then I put my whole hand through the opening," according to The Sun.

She said she managed to escape and flagged down a passing car that took her home.

Prosecutor Jonathan Sharp told the court on Monday that Kasprzak was "bored" of his girlfriend and "he decided to get rid of her," according to The Sun.

Both men deny attempted murder.

The trial at Leeds Crown Court was adjourned until Wednesday.

Opinions????

My main thought after reading this is if you're going to go through the trouble of burying someone alive, with the intent to kill them... you put them under 4 inches of soil?

If you're going to attempt murder, at least do it right.
Jeez.

There are easier ways of getting rid of a woman and no jail.

Classical shallow grave.

As for the perpetrator.
Don't be so dumb and kill her first and bury her under concrete.
Then you might have gotten off scott free.

Like, I don't know, breaking up with her? xD

But seriously, four inches? And he only tasered her? Without taking the diamond ring back to sell it? That guy sure is a bad murderer.

 

[Hells Malice]

I honestly think "an eye for an eye" would work wonders in this situation.

Give him the diamond ring, and do exactly what he did to her.
See how he fares.

 

[junkerde]

is the taser ok?

 

[Hyro-Sama]

Guys, you're looking at this all wrong. If he never gave her the ring, she would be dead by now. IT WAS A TEST.

 

[Shinigami357]

Is the wedding still on? I heard they're planning a very underground one.

 

[Wizerzak]

Kasprzak was "bored" of his girlfriend and "he decided to get rid of her,"

^roflol.

@OP: I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this yet on another USN but; this is a gaming forum and you seem to be posting a lot of irrelevant news. If people want to know stuff like this they can go to Google News or read a newspaper. This is not the sort of news suited to GBAtemp, it would be OK in moderation and if it was quite significant news but there is simply too much of it. Just looking at the General Off-topic Chat now and you've posted 4 topics out of the top few:

I don't know about everybody else but I would certainly not enjoy GBAtemp turning into some sorta Facebook or Yahoo!
So please think before you post.
Thanks.

 

[koimayeul]

Oh, but he's been told several times.

Freedom of speech and freedom of choice, i'm ALL for it as long one suck it up to the bitter end reguarding consequences, not my business!
Aaand, that cover my very opinion(s), counting for each and every obnoxious/infuriating/unfair/shocking news coming from you, smile72.

Hopefully no more to come and i can say without blushing i feel happy with P1ng move to start moderate it.
About time! Way too used to see the wall of texts then the usual "Opinions?????" often without stating your own, even.

Sorry if i sound mean, i am usually quite tolerant of others but i can't help to *facepalm* with your repeated controversary threads every few days and the way you toss 'em around here.. So, please, find a different forum to share/discuss your teenage angst. I for one have enough bad/sick news to face when i open my browser on Yahoo homepage. Maybe start a poll if you wish and see how many like/dislike that kind of trash posted on here.. You'll be surprised. Thank you!

Wizerzak, you might wanna give the ol' forum description a read.
"Talk about anything" pretty much.

This is a gaming community, and this is the off-topic forum of this gaming community, thus it's not gaming related. There's a general gaming forum for that.

Though I do think these threads need to come to an end. They're just postcount+1 threads unless he actually starts stating an opinion.
Plus most of the news isn't even interesting.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

It's true what they say, diamonds are a girl's best friend.

For the record, the correct way to escape being buried alive is the three inch punch.

 

[Gahars]

So this woman freed herself with the ring her would be murderer gave to her?

Yes, I understand what you're saying, and under any other circumstances I would agree. But continually making threads about random murders, suicides and violence etc. which have clearly just been copied and pasted with the question "Opinions???" beneath it is going a bit over the top. General off-topic is for discussions which are actually of some interest. As I said before, if people want to read this shit I'm sure they can just go and buy a newspaper.

Oh look, it's this argument again.

If you don't like it, don't click on it. Simple. Just like if you don't want to read the Sports section of the newspaper, you don't need to. The thread is clearly labelled, so you can't say you didn't know what you were clicking on. And furthermore, you can see who posted it right next to the topic title. Honestly, complaining about this in the thread is not only off-topic, but just as useless as you claim the thread is. There's a report button. Use it if you feel it really doesn't belong here. Otherwise either comment on the topic at hand or click the little X button at the top of your browser.

Now, back ON topic...Taser...4 inches of soil...didn't steal the ring to sell it...trying to kill someone that has close ties to him...and he most likely made the shallow grave close to home. Has this guy never watched Forensic Files???

I usually agree with the 'don't like it, don't click it' point of view. But that's not what I'm getting at, for I usually do ignore these threads. What I'm saying is that the OP shouldn't be allowed to get away with just posting random shit from Yahoo! News. Otherwise I might as well just post loads of topics about renewable energy or w/e and somehow get away with it.
