Mother stabs son 100 times: US prosecutor

A Polish-born woman in suburban Chicago stabbed her seven-year-old son 100 times then turned the knife on a five-year-old girl who witnessed the killing, as both children begged for their lives, a prosecutor says.
Elzbieta Plackowska, 40, told investigators she stabbed the children and slashed their throats on Tuesday night because she was angry with her husband, a truck driver who was often away, DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said.
Plackowska told investigators her husband left her alone to care for her son Justin and work as a maid, which she felt was beneath her, Berlin said at a bond hearing on Thursday.
“She told the detectives that she thought by killing Justin she would make her husband hurt the way she hurt in their relationship,” Berlin said.
Plackowska told investigators she found Justin and Olivia Dworakowski – whom she was babysitting that night – jumping on the bed, Berlin said.
“She had grabbed the knife and she made both victims kneel and begin praying. She began stabbing her son Justin and told him he was going to heaven tonight. He pleaded for his life and told her to stop. But she continued stabbing him until he was dead,” he said at a news conference after the hearing.
“She then turned her attention to five-year-old Olivia and began stabbing her with the knife multiple times. She, as well, pleaded for her life, but the defendant continued to stab her until she was deceased.”
Plackowska killed Olivia because she had witnessed the attack on Justin, Berlin said.
The slayings took place at the home of Olivia’s mother who works nights as a nurse and had left her daughter in the woman’s care before. Plackowska also stabbed the two family dogs.
“In all my years in law enforcement, this is the most gruesome and horrific crime scene that I have seen,” Naperville Police Chief Bob Marshall said at the news conference.
Investigators found two blood-stained knives; one in the kitchen sink and another in Plackowska’s car, Berlin said.
Plackowska initially told investigators that a stalker had broken into the home where Olivia lived with her mother, and it was the stalker who killed the children. She later said the children were evil and that she was fighting the devil in the house, Berlin said at the hearing.
When police confronted her about the inconsistencies during hours of questioning, Plackowska admitted that she lashed out because she was angry with her husband, he said.
DuPage County Judge John Kinsella ordered Plackowska held without bond. Plackowska didn’t speak during the hearing other than to indicate she could not afford a lawyer. The judge appointed a public defender.

  1. Thanks for that Hans.
    I’ll forwarded your post to A Voice for Men which as an American site will no doubt make good use of it.
    As it’s the major Men’s Rights website anywhere I’ve also promised to be an unofficial liaison between that site and this.
    So for starters here’s a link you may find very interesting given NZ culture is it’s topic –
