A Polish gangster allowed his phone to be used to make ransom demands for a kidnap victim who was tortured death in an attic.
Andrzej Kulesza, 27, was locked up, drugged and savagely beaten for three days before his body was dumped in a field in Northampton.
Mr Kulesza sent frantic messages to his girlfriend pleading with her to find the money for his captors during his final days.
In one text he said: ‘I’m being tortured for the past two days in a loft begging you – otherwise they’ll f***ing do me in.
‘I need £300, that’s for today. For the last two days I’ve been tortured in some kind of an attic.’
But when his partner, Katarzyna Grabowska, handed over £300 the kidnappers demanded more money.
They eventually killed the victim and dumped him in a field when their demands were not met.
His body was not discovered for seven months.
Once the initial sum was handed over the kidnappers began demanding more cash – up to £18,500.
‘Kulesza was dragged up to that loft. It is all too apparent what was happening to him when he got up there,’ said prosecutor Victor Temple.
‘He was saying please get the money or they are going to kill me. That prediction was all too true. They didn’t get the money and they did kill him.’
Rafal Lapinski, 29, whose phone was used to contact the girlfriend is the last of the gang to be tried.
One of the alleged murderers, Polish underworld boss Grzegorz Misiak never stood trial because he was killed in a car crash in Poland.
His henchman Kamil Dreszer, 27, was convicted of murder and jailed for a minimum of 22 years.
Artur Janik, who was convicted of a lesser charge of manslaughter, was sentenced to 11 years.
A third man, 40-year-old Daniel Kosowski, was cleared of taking part in the abduction and killing of Mr Kulesza but convicted of preventing a lawful burial and jailed for 30 months.
Mr Kulesza lived with Ms Grabowska in Stamford Hill, north London, and had been involved in dealing amphetamines and cannabis and ‘crash for cash’ insurance swindles.
He owed money to Misiak, who enlisted Dreszer, Janik, Kosowski and Lapinksi to help with the plot.
Prosecutor Victor Temple QC said: ‘The reasons for the kidnap and murder of Andrezj Kulesza were principally founded on a desire to extract payment of a drug-related debt or revenge for the same, and to demonstrate a show of force to the wider criminal community.
‘It was to send a message: ”Don’t mess with us.”
The victim had gone into hiding and they found him by threatening to kill his friend Krysztof Gozdz unless he revealed the location.
Mr Gozdz had two of his front teeth knocked out by the gang and had to be treated in hospital for multiple injuries.
The victim was grabbed when he popped out of his flat to go to the local shop and taken from his address in Stamford Hill to Misiak’s home at 34b Greenhill Park, Willesden.
Later that day, Ms Grabowska was told he had been kidnapped and that she would need to pay a ransom for his release.
Lapinski was called to the flat, knowing that the victim had been kidnapped and was being assaulted, Mr Temple said.
‘They were calling Lapinksi to come and help them out and give them assistance in dealing with Kulesza,’ Mr Temple said.
He would later tell his girlfriend that they ‘had a boy who owed them money.’
Lapinski’s phone was used for a series of desperate conversations with her boyfriend.
‘He also said that he had been “broken” meaning his bones had been broken as the money was late, and repeated that they were threatening to kill him,’ said Mr Temple.
Moranda was told to collect £300 from the girlfriend at a Tesco’s car park.
But then further demands of money were made as the boyfriend texts to his partner.
One stated: ‘I must have £18,500 or I am really f***ked! Don’t even call the pigs because that will make it all the worst all is already sorted out.’
In the loft the victim screamed in agony as he was beaten, spat on him, and force-fed amphetamines and alcohol.
After he was killed his body was bundled into a large holdall and put into a car boot.
Lapinski was in the car when the body was driven to Rothersthorpe on the outskirts of Northampton where the victim’s remains, partly decomposed, dismembered and mummified, were found by a member of the public who was walking her dog in nearby on April 25, 2011.
The body was in such an advanced state of decomposition that the cause of death could not be identified.
Lapinksi of no fixed address, was extradited from Poland to face trial. He denies murder and preventing lawful burial.
The trial continues
