Who killed Stefan Korniecki

Stefan Korniecki died suddenly. If you can say that about the death of a man over eighty, he simply didn't wake up in the morning. As a family member recalled a few years later, "The old man just took it and died." And there would have been nothing strange about Stefan's death if it weren't for the fact that the deceased was a millionaire and died just as several people close to him were struggling financially. Was one of them hoping for an inheritance? Or perhaps Stefan had simply passed on to the other world in a completely natural way?

The first suspect would certainly have been Stefan's wife, Maria. His wife hated the deceased with all her heart; everyone in the family knew she was only with him for the money. As the Kornieckis' maid recalls:

"Mrs. Maria was a very possessive person. Even though her husband had the money, Mrs. Maria made most of the decisions about the family. I still remember Mr. Stefan deciding to buy a garbage disposal unit. Of course, Mrs. Maria refused and sent the money to the account of Radio Maryja."

It wasn't just the maid who noticed disturbing signs in the behavior of Mr. Stefan's wife, recalls Jan Machnicki, a gardener employed at the deceased's home:

"That bitch locked her husband in the bathroom many times, made him very strong coffee, pulled out cigarette filters, clearly wanting the old man to die!"

Despite all the testimony against Mrs. Maria Korniecka, the woman had one alibi: she had been dead for seven years.

When telling this story, it's important to mention how the deceased amassed his fortune. Mr. Stefan started as a lumberjack in a small mountain town whose name I can't reveal because I've forgotten. After a few years of work and a few bank loans, Stefan was able to open his own sawmill. Karol Szweda, his partner at the time, recalls:

"Stefan was very hardworking, even very, very hardworking. At that time, he worked at the sawmill 15 hours a day until we earned enough to monopolize the timber industry in the Żywiec region. Stefan even came up with an advertising slogan: >> DREWTREX sawmills will slaughter everything! <<

Stefan was a real guy; after just a few years, he made a fortune in sawmills and bought out my shares. It's a shame about the guy, I tell you how much he could drink..."

Apparently, Mr. Stefan enjoyed the respect of society, so who else could have wanted him dead?

Another suspect is the Kornieckis' older son, Wincenty. Mr. Stefan was unhappy with his son's lifestyle and dreamed that Wicuś (as his high school friends called him) would follow in his footsteps and take over management of a global chain of sawmills, but his son chose a different path. Wicusio's friend from college, who insisted on remaining anonymous, says:

"My father never came to terms with Wincenty becoming a writer. He started by publishing short stories, and eventually published his first novel, "The Beetroot Gap." Besides, Wicuś was bisexual; he even hit on me sometimes, and well, I fell for his charm a few times."

Klaudia S., a lover of both Mr. Stefan and Wincenty, can also say something about Wincenty's relationship with his father:

"He really liked Wicuś from behind, unlike Misiek, as I called Stefcio. They had a huge argument when they found out about the threesome, but it was so attractive, father and son, it turned me on. You're cool too, will you give me your number?"

As you can see, love could have been a pretext for killing his father, but Wincenty, like his mother, had an alibi. While his father died, Wicuś was spending time with a friend in Crimea.

Now let's take a look at the Kornieckis' younger son. Maurycy, for that was the boy's name, was an alcoholic, drug addict, and gambler. We asked a girl nicknamed Lola to describe Maurycy:

"It was always the same; he'd come over at 8 p.m. and we'd have sex, no frills, normal. But one time, he was strangely tense and told me what was bothering him: he owed Brutus some money, that's all he told me; if you want to know more, you have to pay."

We reached a man named Brutus, but he refused to talk to us, but we met his well-built and powerfully kicking friends.

So Maurycy becomes suspect number one, and the fact that the deceased's younger son has disappeared adds spice to the situation. We learned he'd changed his name and was living somewhere in Thailand, but we couldn't confirm this information.

When it seemed that Stefan Korniecki's death would remain a mystery forever, we came across a medical report written immediately after his death, but it was illegible, so we asked Dr. Burczyk to tell us what the deceased was suffering from, says Dr. Henryk Burczyk:

"Mr. Korniecki was very healthy for his eighty years, but I suspect that his death was caused by his advanced age, he took a normal course and died."
