Shallow grave killer given life Shallow grave killer given life

A dairy worker has been jailed for life for the murder of a woman whose body he buried in a shallow grave. A "devious" dairy worker has been jailed for life for the murder of a woman whose body he buried in a shallow grave on farmland.
Lukasz Reszpondek, 28, originally from Poland, must serve a minimum of 18 years, Mold Crown Court was told. Lukasz Reszpondek, 28, must serve a minimum of 18 years and should be deported home to Poland after his sentence, Mold Crown Court heard.
The married father-of-two was previously found guilty of killing Ermatati Rodgers, of Wrexham, who was his work colleague and alleged lover. The married father-of-two was previously found guilty of killing Ermatati Rodgers, 41, of Wrexham.
Divorcee Ms Rodgers, 41, who was from Indonesia, was found in a field 14 months after she was reported missing. The Indonesia-born divorcee was found buried 14 months after going missing.
Sentencing Reszpondek, Mr Justice Lloyd-Jones branded him a devious, calculating and determined liar and said that the knowledge of the enormity of what he had done should shame him for the rest of his life.
The judge also recommended that he should be deported at the end of his sentence to protect the public from violent crime.
Ermatati Rodgers' body was found 14 months after she went missing
During his three week trial, the jury heard how Reszpondek met divorcee Ms Rodgers - known as Tati - at a Dairy Crest plant in Wrexham.
Despite his claims she was only a friend who helped him with his English, the prosecution alleged they had become lovers and that Reszpondek strangled her in anger "against a background of the emotional and conflicting demands of the eternal triangle of a wife and another woman".
He then played computer games for a day and a half while her body remained at his house, before burying her in a field at Erddig near Wrexham.
Police surveillance
Fourteen months after she was reported missing, he tried to dig her up again as police closed in on him.
Officers had become suspicious of Reszpondek and had placed him under surveillance.
They found he kept returning to the burial site and it emerged that he had saved the area in the favourites of his satnav and named it "TT", short for Tati - the name by which Ms Rodgers was known to her friends.
When officers began digging up fields looking for the body, Reszpondek, who had been watching the police's movements, spent three hours digging with a spade, a fork, and his bare hands to try to recover the body. But it was too difficult.
So in March this year he went to police to tell them where the body was - and claimed she had simply dropped dead of natural causes at his home.
He claimed that in panic he buried Ms Rodgers, who he described as very attractive.
But the jury rejected his story.
