A gang of marines sexually assaulted the wife of a Brooklyn-raised Marine in front of him before killing both of them - revelations that sent the slain woman's mom fleeing from a courtroom Wednesday.
The four men used a sex toy to attack Quiana Pietrzak on a table as her bound-and-gagged husband, Sgt. Jan Pawel Pietrzak, watched helplessly in their California home, cops testified.
The attackers - who thought Jan Pawel Pietrak had a hidden stash of cash - also planned to force the newlywed to dance naked in hopes of getting her husband to "break," police said.
Tyrone Miller, 20, and Kesuan (Psycho) Sykes, 21, later allegedly joked about attacking Quiana Pietrzak and sodomizing her with the toy.
"(They) were joking around, laughing, making buzzing sounds," Kevin Cox, 20, told cops, Det. Gary LeClair of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said.
The graphic testimony was too much for Quiana Pietrzak's mother, Faye Jenkins, who left the courtroom with tears in her eyes.
The men are accused along with Emrys John, 18, of the Oct. 15 murders of the Pietrzaks, who had married just two months earlier.
Police are testifying at a pretrial hearing for the men, who worked under the command of Jan Pawel Pietrzak at the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station in San Diego.
The gun-toting men burst into the couple's home in Winchester, Calif., and tied up Jan Pawel Pietrzak, who was raised in Bensonhurst and joined the Marines after the Sept. 11 attacks.
The suspects believed the couple had a large amount of cash in the house, although it's not clear why.
Miller and Sykes used a knife to cut the straps off Quiana Pietrzak's nightgown and planned to force her to dance in front of her husband to force him to divulge the location of the cash.
They instead decided to force the hog-tied husband to watch as they attacked her with the toy on a living room table.
"Sgt. [Pietrzak] had duct tape over his mouth, and he was making growling sounds," LeClair said.
The sadistic fiends discussed burning the couple alive, but couldn't start the fire. So they shot them both in the head.
The four even grabbed milk and juice from the refrigerator as the slain couple lay dead.
Cops later found stolen items in the accused Marines' rooms at a military base.
Racial epithets were found spray-painted in the bedroom, a reference to the fact that Jan Pawel Pietrzak was white and Quiana Pietrzak was black.
Cops believe robbery was the primary motive.
The highlighting is mine.
Is capital punishment an option here? It should be.
How could four men who claim to be Marines do that to a fellow Marine.
All four services have issues with gang members/activity.
Admittedly, there are SOME individuals who are technically members of a street gang, yet who join the military to make a new life for themselves. Generally, this works, since the military moves those individuals far away from their neighborhoods and gives them a new environment in which to develop.
In other cases, gang members join for fun or profit, and they retain those gang loyalties through their service.
If these guys don’t have street gang connections of one sort or another, I’ll be very surprised.
If they are tried under UCMJ, then yes the death penalty should be an option. It was once also applicable to rape, but I don’t know if that is still the case. As an aside, I’m surprised there was no gun in the home.
“Racial epithets were found spray-painted in the bedroom, a reference to the fact that Jan Pawel Pietrzak was white and Quiana Pietrzak was black.”
Um....so why is this called a “Marine Slay Trial” and not a racist murder?
Gee, could it be because all the perps were, uh, gentlemen of color?
Burn them slowly to death.
They were pretending to be Marines. Real Marines wouldn't have done that.
I can see the honor shining out of this man’s eyes. What a horrible crime.

We live in a screwed up world don’t we? Imagine had four white guys done this to a couple where the man was black and the wife white. The press would have played it to the max, and it’s not unlikely there would have been civil unrest in the minority community.
It’s not bad enough that a horror story like this can unfold, but add to the fact that we’ve come to a point in America that the press won’t even report on crimes involving race unless the story fits their prepared template.
There is nothing we can do as a society to properly punish the people who did this. Thankfully they will find their fate at the hands of the next judge much fairer and the punishment will fit the crime. It’s stories like this that convince me there is a God. All of creation abhors a vacuum and unbalance. It there were no way to punish the wicked and reward the good in a life after this one it would mock the very fact that creation abhors a vacuum. I know it’s nothing even close to scientific evidence, but it works for me.
This case just makes me want to scream. Then cry.
“Cops believe robbery was the primary motive.”
the cops have been told by their politicians to say this. If the cops called it a hate crime, they would have been fired.
This was obviously a hate crime, but since the politicians condone hate crimes against people of Polish background committed by minorities, this will not be prosecuted as a hate crime.
No, they don't. They just can't say what they really believe, and that's really sad.
Non humans.
Subhuman vermin, lower than the bacteria that feast on the corpses of dead dung beetles.
The Marines obviously had a quota to fill.
Thank you. Let the truth be known. There will never be racial harmony until the reality of black on white crime is faced up to.
