Cleaner denies murdering refugee

Thea Zaudy A Polish cleaner has pleaded not guilty to the murder of a 94-year-old World War II refugee whose charred remains were found in a common.

Jolanta Kalinowska, 41, of Cavendish Avenue, Ealing, west London, is accused of killing Thea Zaudy, of Notting Hill, west London, in July.

Mrs Zaudy's body was found at Milton Common, near Thame in Oxfordshire.

Kalinowska, along with three others, was remanded in custody to await trial which begins on 18 February next year.

Kalinowska's son, Adrian Ryszard Laz, 23, pleaded not guilty to assisting his mother in disposing of the body.

His girlfriend, Monika Sienkiewictz, 19, who lives at the same address in Ealing as Mr Laz and his mother, pleaded not guilty to one charge of assisting an offender in the removal of evidence of a murder.

Lukaz Gajda, of Drayton Bridge Road in Hanwell, west London, also pleaded not guilty to assisting Kalinowska in the disposal of Mrs Zaudy's body.

Police found Mrs Zaudy's charred remains in July next to a suitcase thought to have been used to transport the body at Milton Common, near Thame in Oxfordshire.

She had arrived in Britain in 1939 after fleeing from Nazi Germany.
