You can feel how you want about interracial dating but if what they say is true these Marines need to be prosecuted to the full extent. Is our armed forces craeting uncontrollable monsters that only know how to solve problems through brutal murder? When Marine Sgt. Jan Pawel Pietrzak was killed by a shot to the back of the head Oct. 15, he was nowhere near a desert battlefield and the killer was not an enemy combatant. Though court reports point to one shooter, four Marines have been charged in the double homicide — two of whom were under Pietrzak’s command. Robbery was reportedly the motive for the crime. “To burglarize their home and then to treat them in the way they did before they died and to murder them — it’s hard for our minds to comprehend this kind of savagery,” District Attorney Rod Pacheco told “Good Morning America.” According to court papers, the three other suspects named 18-year-old Lance Cpl. Emrys John as the shooter. All four said that 26-year-old Jenkins-Pietrzak was sexually assaulted, but each suspect said the other three did it. Lance Cpl. Kesaun Sykes, 21, reportedly confessed to cutting off her clothes. A fire was set in the home, apparently to destroy evidence of the crime. Along with John and Sykes, 20-year-old Lance Cpl. Tyrone Miller and 20-year-old Pvt. Kevin Cox have been charged with the murders. All of the suspects have pleaded not guilty and are being held without bail. Miller and John worked in Pietrzak’s unit, according to court documents. Police reportedly found property from the couple’s home in the home of some of the suspects. While police work to find out what happened, the mothers of the slain newlyweds told “Good Morning America” that they are grappling with questions of their own. The couple had been married less than three months before they were killed. “How could they?” said Jenkins-Pietrzak’s mother, Glenda Faye Williams-Jenkins. “He was one of their own. He was their brother. … It’s like a nightmare and I haven’t woke up yet.” “I absolutely don’t understand this,” Pietrzak’s mother, Henryka Pietrzak-Varga, said. “I’m looking for answers and I cannot find them.” Born in Poland but raised in Brooklyn, Pietrzak enlisted in the Marine Corps after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and became a helicopter mechanic. Pietrzak’s mother told the Daily News that she had prepared herself “for the possibility that my son could die in Iraq.” “But to die like this, in their own home?” she said. “They were good kids. They didn’t deserve to die like this.”
Were they just executed? Or was there torture involved? Marines killing their commanding officer and his wife? Unbelievable.
Nationwide, there seems to be a rash of things like this with soldiers. I don't if just seems that way because they get more coverage or if there is truly a pattern developing.
craeting. SPELLING FAIL. OP, how about please, next time, you add something at least descriptive in the title of the thread? I'd like to at least know what I'm readin' into, you know?
My sympathies to the victims and all, but I'm not sure what makes this very different from the thousands of other murders we have in this country.
Interesting that NBC felt the need to put Black in the title and Yahoo didn't. Terrible story either way, but just an observation.
I know... right? When I read "WTF is this world coming to?" I thought: "Yeap, another spelling error somewhere!" You don't know how much I suffer, ima... you don't know, sir...
That is kinda interesting. Maybe because they don't fit the stereotype of a psycho? ...either way this is sick but you can't blame this on the marines. Sure there are sick people in the marines but i feel like those kinds of people would be criminals regardless.
I'm not that shocked, remember not that long ago there was the story of the pregnant marine who was murdered by another marine.
i don't know about that, but when damn near anyone can join, including douchebags, the military atmosphere is definitely effect them.
