Man jailed for life after murdering Stuart Everett
Marcin Majerkiewicz, 42, of Worsley Road, Eccles, has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Stuart Everett. The case involved an extensive investigation by Greater Manchester Police, including the use of CCTV analysis by the VERA Unit, which tracked Majerkiewicz depositing human remains across Greater Manchester. Significant evidence, including a hacksaw with the victim's blood and parts of the victim's skull, was recovered from multiple locations. Approximately a third of Stuart Everett's body was found, though most remains were never recovered. Majerkiewicz denied the charges but was found guilty by a jury after a two-week trial.
Life Sentence for Man Who Dismembered Victim and Scattered Remains Across Greater Manchester
Marcin Majerkiewicz, 42, of Worsley Road, Eccles, received a life sentence Friday at Manchester Crown Court for the murder of Stuart Everett, whose dismembered body parts were discovered at multiple locations across Greater Manchester. The conviction follows a two-week trial that concluded March 21, where jurors viewed extensive CCTV evidence showing Majerkiewicz disposing of human remains.
The unprecedented investigation began April 4, 2024, when a significant body part wrapped in plastic was found in Kersal Dale, Salford. What followed became one of the most complex cases in Greater Manchester Police history, involving hundreds of officers from across the force working to identify the victim and track down his killer.
The breakthrough came through GMP’s Video Evidence Retrieval and Analysis (VERA) Unit, where Detective Sergeant Heidi Cullum and her team of ten Investigative Support Officers analyzed extensive CCTV footage. “An individual was captured on CCTV struggling to carry a heavy bag with a large item protruding out of the top. He entered the Dale and after spending ten minutes, he returned with what appeared to be an empty bag,” explained Detective Sergeant Cullum.
Through meticulous CCTV tracking and partnership with Transport for Greater Manchester, officers traced Majerkiewicz’s movements using his AnyBus daysaver ticket, eventually arresting him on a bus in Eccles. During questioning, he confirmed his residence at 195 Worsley Road, where investigators discovered another man hadn’t been seen in three weeks - later identified as Stuart Everett.
The VERA team noticed Majerkiewicz frequently left home with heavy bags and returned with empty ones, suggesting a pattern of disposing remains. This led to the discovery of additional body parts at Chesterfield Close on April 29, just eight minutes from his home. Over four months, specialist search teams recovered approximately one-third of Everett’s remains from 15 of 19 search locations, including a hacksaw with the victim’s blood and skull fragments found at Blackleach Reservoir.
Detective Chief Superintendent Lewis Hughes, Senior Investigating Officer, stated: “Majerkiewicz cowardly denied murdering Stuart and has subjected his family to reliving the gruesome details of this case over the past weeks during the trial. Despite Majerkiewicz’s denial and cover-up plot, a jury saw the truth and found him guilty within a couple hours of deliberation.”
