£20K Reward In Kidnap-Murder Case


Police investigating the murder of a kidnap victim – snatched after leaving home to buy bread and milk then buried in a field – have offered a £20,000 reward in a bid to crack the case.

Polish-born Andrzej Kulesza, 27, (pictured) was kidnapped in Stamford Hill, North London on September 18, last year and his remains were discovered by a dog-walker near Rothersthorpe, Northampton on April 25.

A post-mortem examination was conducted but failed to establish the cause of death.



Shortly after his disappearance Andrzej’s girlfriend began receiving ransom demands and she paid a quantity of cash, but all telephone calls ended on September 21.

An incident room is open at Hendon under Detective Chief Inspector Jacqueline Sebire who said: “We hope the offer of this reward will encourage people to come forward with any piece of information - no matter how small - and help with our investigation.



“It is still not clear how Andrzej was kidnapped. He would not usually have left the house at that time so perhaps he had arranged to meet someone who then orchestrated the abduction.

“We believe he was killed shortly after the ransom demands stopped.



“We would ask anyone with information or anyone who witnessed suspicious activity either in Stamford Hill that day or in the Rothersthorpe area to contact us as soon as possible.”



Anyone who can assist should call the incident room on 020 8358 0200. If you wish to remain anonymous please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.



A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of kidnap and murder on June 9 and was taken to a west London police station and subsequently bailed to return in mid-December pending further enquiries.
