Świecie
24. Sept. In yesterday's
"Diary" we wrote briefly about the crime that took place on Thursday,
the 22nd of this month. Before noon in the village of Przechowko near Świecie,
5 km away from the district town. Today we're sharing some more details
gathered by our co-worker at the crime scene.
Just a few hundred meters from the
bustling Bydgoszcz-Gdansk road, there is a small village called Przechowko. One
of the farmsteads, located at the foot of the border of the Vistula lowland, belonged
to the heirs of the deceased farmer Blankenfeld: 64-year-old Zelma Zieroth and
over 50-year-old Zlotkowa. It is a 70-morg estate.
On the critical day, all the
household members went to the field to pick potatoes. Zieroth stayed at home to
prepare dinner. People returning for dinner noticed that the doors and windows
were tightly closed and no one answered their calls. Touched by a bad feeling,
they broke the window-pane and then, after removing an obstacle that had been
placed to block access, they entered the interior, where they saw a terrible
mess. All the things were thrown out of the wardrobes and chests of drawers
onto the floor, the drawers were wide open, and there was no trace of Zieroth.
All rooms and corners were ransacked. Finally, one of the household members
went into the basement where the potatoes were being transported that day and,
to his great horror, he saw Zieroth's body, dead and hanging. In addition, the
household members noticed that money in the amount of PLN 70 and two watches
had been stolen. An unknown perpetrator, or maybe there were more of them,
broke into the house, first killed Zieroth, dragged the body to the basement,
hung it, and only after this terrible action did he start robbing, certainly
expecting a large amount of cash.
The police, informed about the
crime, immediately started a pursuit and investigation under the leadership of
the district commander, Dzwoniarka from Świecie.
