POLISH NATIONALS HELPED DISPOSE OF MAN'S BODY

THREE Polish nationals who helped dispose of Tomasz Dembler’s body after he was beaten to death have been deported.

Monika Solerska, Tomasz Reczycki, and Adam Czerwinski have been sent back to Poland after serving their prison sentences.

The three were convicted of perverting the course of justice in 2022, after it emerged they helped bury Mr Dembler’s body at a Middlesbrough beauty spot.

The two men who killed Mr Dembler - Zbigniew Pawlowski and Rafal Chmielewski - are both serving 16-and-a-half-year sentences in the UK. They were jailed for Mr Dembler’s manslaughter in April 2022.

Pawlowski pulled Mr Dembler out of bed on March 21, 2021, and the two men beat him so severely, that they broke his back.

Mr Dembler also suffered bleeding to his brain, a fractured jaw, and 15 broken ribs.

During the trial in 2022, Teesside Crown Court heard that Pawlowski was angry with Mr Dembler after he made a joke about Pawlowski having sexual contact with men.

Tomasz Dembler, 39, had fallen into drink and drugs after his relationship broke down, and he moved into a house share on Edward Street in Middlesbrough in 2021. Days later, his new friends had beaten him to death; stripped the house of the blood-stained carpet; and buried Mr Dembler in a shallow grave in Flatts Lane Country Park, in Normanby.
