Two deny murder of man whose body was found in Boston drain

Adam Kaminski and Justyna Swaitek both aged 26 and of Union Court, Boston, each pleaded not guilty to the murder of Marcin Stolarek between 27 November and 12 January.

Kaminski and Swaitek together with a third defendant Adam Maksajda, 33, of no fixed address, each denied a further charge of doing acts intended to pervert the course of justice between 13 and 16 January.

They are alleged to have cleaned and redecorated 14 Union Court, Boston, to remove evidence of a murder which had occurred at that address.

All three were remanded in custody to await a trial due to begin on 29 June.

No charge was put to a fourth defendant, Lukasz Ferenc, 27, of Windsor Bank, Boston, who is also accused of murder. He was remanded in custody to await a further hearing on 15 May.

The murder investigation began after the body of Mr Stolarek, who was originally from Poland, was found on Sunday 12 January in the South Forty Foot Drain near to a pumping station on Chain Bridge Road, Boston.
