Later that same day, the defendant attended Pear Tree police station in Derby and admitted she had killed Izabela.
But she claimed Izabela had died by “accident” during a violent confrontation between them, and that during this, she had done nothing more than defend herself.
But the jury rejected that defence when she took to the witness stand.
Speaking about his interaction with Podedworna, Zalewski said the killer had told Izabela’s family “so many lies” to them.
“I knew she could be hiding something, that she might know something more than she’s not telling us,” he said. “This was further confirmed by how nervous she appeared to be when I showed up on her doorstep.
“We know now that right after that conversation with me, she went to the police and revealed where Izabela’s remains were hidden. Now we know how Izabela got treated after her death, it’s simply something monstrous and macabre.”
