UK Police Footage Shows Bus Arrest of Polish Killer Who Dismembered Housemate

Newly released body-worn police footage has revealed the moment Greater Manchester Police arrested Marcin Majerkiewicz aboard a public bus following the brutal murder and dismemberment of his housemate. The 42-year-old Polish national bludgeoned 67-year-old British pensioner Stuart Everett with a hammer at their shared home in Salford in March 2024 before dismembering his body into 27 pieces and dispersing the remains in plastic bags across local nature reserves.\n\nThe footage, featured in an upcoming Channel 5 documentary, captures the April 2024 arrest on Eccles New Road three weeks after a human torso was found wrapped in cling film in the Kersal Dale nature reserve. When confronted and detained by officers, Majerkiewicz repeatedly proclaimed his innocence, asking police to "double check" and insisting, "It's definitely a mistake, 100 per cent." However, extensive CCTV analysis tracking his bus movements using a day ticket directly linked him to multiple dumping sites across Greater Manchester.\n\nDuring his trial at Manchester Crown Court, prosecutors detailed how Majerkiewicz plundered Mr Everett's bank accounts to cover debts totaling £74,000, including £60,000 in personal loans and £14,000 in credit card arrears. Investigators, operating under Operation Harker, gathered forensic evidence across 15 crime scenes and identified human remains at five separate locations. The court heard that Majerkiewicz, who possessed an obsession with slasher horror films, had also flayed his victim's face and actively deceived Everett’s relatives to conceal the death while planning to flee abroad.\n\nTrial judge Mr Justice Cavanagh described the killing as a calculated murder for financial gain. Majerkiewicz offered no evidence in his defense during trial proceedings and was subsequently convicted of murder in March 2025, receiving a life sentence with a mandatory minimum term of 34 years in prison.
