Butcher cut girlfriend in half and buried her in the garden
A turkey butcher who killed her girlfriend and cut her in half before burying her in a garden has been found guilty of murder.
Anna Podedworna, from Poland, killed Izabela Zablocka with a horse figurine before trussing her up "like a chicken" with electrical tape and burying her remains wrapped in bin bags in a "filthy, makeshift grave" in the garden of a terraced house in Normanton, Derby. Ms Zablocka, 30, lost contact with her mother and daughter in Poland in August 2010 and was reported missing, Derby Crown Court heard.
About 15 years later, Podedworna, 40, "cracked" due to "mounting pressure" and emailed police last year after a Polish television journalist flew to the UK to interview her, prosecutor Gordon Aspden told the jury. In June, officers located Ms Zablocka's remains under concrete hardstanding in the garden of the house she shared with Podedworna after they moved to the UK from Poland together.
During her trial, jurors heard how "considerable force" would have been needed to cut Ms Zablocka's body in half, and that her legs had been bound together before she was buried. Podedworna was a skilled butcher at a poultry factory in Scropton, Derbyshire, at the time, and her work "had involved skinning, deboning, and portioning out turkey carcasses using a large knife.
