Interracial Couple Brutally Murdered for Loving Each Other


The murder of a White Marine sergeant and his African-American wife, was found to be the handiwork of four other Marines who were angry over the mixed race relationship. 

Investigators found Sgt. Jan Pietrzak (seen above-l) and his wife Quiana (seen above-r), in their California home bound in red duct tape with gunshot wounds to their heads in October. 


Police kept insisting the couple were slain for their money, but a key prosecution witness revealed a stunning bit of information; that racist remarks were spray painted on the walls of the couples home The New York Daily News reports.


“Nigger Lover” was written on the wall near the master bedroom and on a bathroom mirror. Riverside County Homicide investigator Benjamin Ramirez testified at a preliminary hearing, according to the News.

Four Black fellow Marines are  responsible for the brutal homicide of the twenty-four year old Marine, and his twenty-six year old wife. 

Prosecutors allege that the Marines – Pvt. Emrys John, 18; Lance Cpl. Tyrone Miller, 20; Pvt. Kesuan (Psycho) Sykes, 21 and Pvt. Kevin Cox, 20 – burst into the Pietrzak’s home in Temecula, Calif., with shotguns; tying up and torturing the couple. The marines repeatedly raped Quiana before Pvt. John, shot them both in the head.


They all pleaded not guilty but if convicted the men will face the death penalty. 


The investigator stated when he arrived at the Pietrzaks’ home, that Quiana was found leaning against a couch with red duct tape covering her eyes and gunshot wounds to her head and right side. 


Her husband “was found leaning against his wife, his face, wrists and ankles bound with red duct tape. He had been shot in the right cheek, and there was blood ‘almost covering his entire face," the News reports citing investigator Ramirez.

Moreover, it was noted that two sofa cushions were apparently used to muffle the gunshot blasts and “evidence the killers tried to cover their tracks by setting a small fire. They left behind foot prints that tied them to the crime,” Ramirez said.

The victim's mothers wept during the two day hearing. “We’re going to visit our children at the grave,” Henryka Pietrzak-Varga of Bensonhurst said later. “That’s all we have left after this.”


Pietrzak’s mother and Quiana’s mother Glenda Faye Williams-Jenkins, never believed their children’s murders were about robbery. 


It is unclear why Riverside County Prosecutor Dan DeLimon, refused to delve into the racial angle, he said. “That will be addressed when the preliminary hearing continues on May 8,”

WHEN WILL THE HATRED END?!
