Man in court over massacre

A 30-year-old man is to be indicted over the murders of six people including his wife and two children in Jersey.

States of Jersey Police said Damian Rzeszowski will appear before the island’s Royal Court over the murders of Izabela Rzeszowska, 30, and their children, Kinga, five, and two-year-old Kacper.

He is also alleged to have killed his wife’s father, Marek Garstka, 56, and her friend Marta Dominika De La Haye, 34, and five-year-old daughter Julia Frances.

Detectives had been waiting for nearly two weeks to quiz Rzeszowski about the massacre in the Channel Island’s capital, St Helier.

He has been receiving treatment in hospital for stab wounds.
