Talks to extradite murder suspect

Crown Prosecution lawyers are trying to extradite a man from Poland over the murder of two brothers in Bedfordshire.

Marek Miazga, 41, of Brook Street, Luton, was found guilty of murdering Waldemar and Andrzej Markuszewski and jailed for at least 25 years on Monday.

The men's bodies were found in June 2005 at their home in Luton.

Bedfordshire Police want to bring Remiguisz Piotrowski back to the UK, and prosecution lawyers are continuing negotiations with Polish counterparts.

As well as the two counts of murder, Miazga was found guilty of eight counts of theft or attempted theft at Luton Crown Court.

During the four-week trial, the court heard how the brothers - Waldemar known as Waldeck and Andrzej known as Andreaus - were found dead in their home, two days after they had last been seen at Luton's carnival.

The prosecution said Miazga killed the men in a row over money and then stole a bank card belonging to Waldeck.

Det Ch Supt Andrew Richer said after the verdict: "I believe this result means we are half way to completing this investigation."
