Harrowing images taken from inside Poland’s incest house of horror have revealed the dingy basement where depraved Piotr Gierasik allegedly threw the newborn babies of his own daughter to die while they continued their four-year relationship.  

Piotr, 54, and Paulina Gierasik, 20, are facing life in prison for murder and incest after the remains of three infants were discovered at the property in the village of Czerniki, in northern Poland, last week. 

Police had conducted a visit at the property after receiving a disturbing tip-off from social services, but while combing the property for evidence discovered a filthy stench emanating from a basement inside the house.

Upon further inspection, they made the horrific find – the rotting corpses of three children who had been tossed into the pitch-black pit. 

Two of the babies were stuffed in plastic bags and buried in a shallow grave in the soft ground beneath the house. A third – believed to belong to another of Piotr’s daughters – was simply left to decompose.

Inspectors were forced to pick their way along a dank corridor crudely held together by cement and crumbling brickwork before lowering themselves into the gloom to make their gruesome discovery.  

Locals interviewed by local media told how the father and daughter were in a relationship for four years and ‘walked around hand-in-hand’. 

Colleagues of Paulina at a cake shop in the neighbouring village of Stara Kiszewa have now told how her father ‘shaved her head so that other boys wouldn’t look at her’ and that she looked up to him ‘as if he were God’.

The father and daughter – who are said to have ‘lived like a couple’ – were each charged with multiple counts of murder and each of incest.

Paulina’s colleagues said they became suspicious that she was pregnant after she started to wear large, loose-fitting clothes. She then took three weeks off work but returned a week later.

One fellow shop worker told the Super Express newspaper: ‘We all guessed she was pregnant, I think she had tied belts around herself like a sort of corset.

‘When she returned early from her holiday the change was visible. She was much thinner, weaker, and constantly tired.

‘When we asked about the child, she feigned surprise and denied it.’

Another local told Fakt newspaper: ‘They lived like a couple. She called him Piotr, by his first name. They walked around hand in hand.

‘A few months ago, he shaved her head so that other boys wouldn’t look at her.

‘She looked up to him as if he were God.’

Addressing the arrests earlier, Mariusz Duszyński from the District Prosecutor’s Office in Gdańsk said: ‘The woman has been charged with two counts of murder and a charge of having an incestuous relationship with her father.

‘The man was charged with three counts of murder, a charge of incest with his 20-year-old daughter, and a charge of having incestuous relations with another daughter.’

According to prosecutors, two of the murdered children came from his relationship with the 20-year-old who they say was in a consensual relationship with her father.

The third baby was from a relationship he had with another daughter after forcing her into sex.

The prosecutors added that they suspected him of killing the third baby.

Grażyna Wawryniuk from the District Prosecutor’s Office in Gdańsk told the Polish Press Agency: ‘Our system’s data shows that in recent years, proceedings have been conducted regarding abuse of other family members.

‘Even earlier, proceedings were conducted on suspicion of incest.

‘All these proceedings were ended at the stage of the prosecutor’s office due to the lack of data sufficient to justify the suspicion of committing the offences.’

She added that prosecutors would now re-examine the previous evidence.

The grim discoveries came after police received a tip-off from social services. One of Paulina’s work colleagues is reported to have alerted social services after seeing a ‘disturbing’ text message the 20-year-old had sent to her father.

Moving to the village around 15 years ago, Piotr was left to bring up his children after his wife died.

A family friend has said that Piotr Gierasik who lives off social benefits used to beat his former wife.

Described as a ‘loving and caring’ mother, the friend told Fakt newspaper that Hania, who died 15 years ago on 18 September, was regularly abused by her husband.

The friend said: ‘She was a caring mother and a very good woman.

‘But he was picking fights with her every day. The whole village could hear him shouting at her. Hania was regularly beaten up.

‘He had sex with his daughters when Hania was alive, she was not able to defend them.

‘She was never sick, but suddenly she lost weight, her hair fell out, she was hospitalised and never came out alive, her death was never explained, I don’t believe she just died like that, she was only 38 years old.

‘Hania was very important to her daughters, the children regularly visit her at the cemetery.’

One local told the Super Express newspaper: ‘The father was left alone with the children.

‘There are a lot of them, ten or twelve, the oldest ones have already left.

‘Piotr made a good impression. The yard is neglected, but he installed new windows in the house.

‘There was no sign of him drinking. He took the kids for walks or to the forest to pick mushrooms.

‘Just ordinary people. Who would have thought that such abominations existed in their home.’

But other locals told Fakt that while he ‘seemed calm’ he ‘had the devil under his skin’.

It comes as the small town of Czerniki – with a population of less than 180, located 50km from Gdańsk – has been accused of holding a ‘conspiracy of silence’ over the allegedly known relationship between the father and daughter.

Locals said they ‘always suspected something was wrong’ with the family.

One neighbour said: ‘We often heard him shouting at the children. His verbal abuse was shocking. Sometimes we’d hear one of girls screaming.

‘What people say now is that he used to go for walks with them. Maybe he did, but the whole village knew that something like this was happening.

‘It’s a tiny village, so everyone knew about these things.

‘Around ten years ago, the police were told that he was sleeping with one of his daughters. But after they investigated they couldn’t find any concrete evidence.

‘The older daughter, who we suspected he had slept with was so scared she refused to say anything.

‘He [the father] has such a personality that everyone in this village was afraid of him. That’s why this case didn’t appear for so long’.

‘She later moved away, as did many of his other children. There were about twelve of them.’

A neighbour of the older daughter told Super Express: ‘She now lives in our village.

‘She has a decent husband. As far as I remember, everyone said that she ran away from that father.

‘If I were her husband, I would kill that monster. If someone hurt my wife like that, I would kill him too.

Police have so far discovered the remains of three babies buried in the family’s house.

Unconfirmed reports say that one of the bodies wrapped in a black plastic bin liner was about three weeks old at the time of death.

Katarzyna Matyszczak, the manager of the confectionery shop where Paulina worked, said: ‘Everyone was gossiping about it.

‘His youngest daughter Paulina is a beautiful girl. Everyone said she was pregnant. So I asked about it directly.

‘She denied it. One of her friends didn’t believe it. I won’t say who, but she was the one who informed the relevant services about the whole matter, because she suspected that she had given birth to a child.’

Prosecutors are now waiting for an autopsy to determine how the three babies died. Meanwhile, police are continuing to search the property to see if any more bodies are hidden in the house.

Both the father and daughter are currently in detention as the investigation continues.

The dismembered remains of a missing ‘millionaire’ crypto influencer have been found stuffed inside a suitcase in Argentina just weeks after his disturbing last posts described ‘evil people’ who wanted to ‘destroy’ him. 

‘Cleanly chopped’ body parts of Fernando Pérez Algaba, 41, were found in an abandoned red suitcase by two children playing football in a stream in Ingeniero Budge, Buenos Aires, on July 23. 

Algaba’s body, which had sustained two bullet wounds, was found days after he was reported missing on July 19. 

At the scene investigators reportedly found the victim’s legs and a forearm in the suitcase before finding a complete arm in the stream. A torso was then spotted and his head was found inside a backpack. 

The body parts were cleanly amputated, suggesting that the mutilation could have been carried out by a professional. 

A four-letter tattoo on a hand confirmed that the remains belonged to Algaba, with fingerprint analysis later providing further confirmation. 

According to the autopsy, Algaba, who was nicknamed ‘Lechuga’ (Lettuce) and is claimed to have been in severe debt, was killed with two shots that entered his back area, according to Argentinian agency Telam. 

A murder investigation has been launched, and one suspect has reportedly been arrested. 

A suspect was arrested and appeared in court on Thursday after investigators discovered it was their suitcase used in the murder. It is thought that the luggage was taken from their home but it is unclear if they are connected with the attack. 

According to local media, Algaba had sent and received more than 200 audio and text messages of a hostile nature.

Algaba had reportedly been threatened by a man who was demanding the return of a debt close to $70,000 and claimed Algaba was ‘poisonous’ and had ‘betrayed him’.

‘I’m not going to kill you, I’m going to do something worse to you, I’m going to gouge out your eyes and cut off your hands so that you can’t have any more money in your life,’ one of the messages said according to Telam. 

Further messages referred to two other men to whom Algaba allegedly owed money.  

Algaba had also racked up ‘irrecoverable’ debts with Argentina’s tax agency when his company, Motors Lettuce SRL, was struggling financially. 

The businessman left a note on his phone admitting that he had lost a significant amount of money after investing in crypto, La Nacion reported. 

Algaba had 918,000 followers on Instagram, where he flaunted his luxury life of high-end cars, jet skis and exclusive parties.

But before his death, he had made a series of disturbing posts on social media.

One of them showed the heavily inked businessman in a car with an accompanying audio recording saying: ‘It’s incredible how there are such evil people in the world that while you’re thinking of helping them, they’re thinking of destroying you.’

Another audio clip said: ‘Hello, mum, I needed to clear my head as always. And from here, I am realising two things: that we can’t escape from problems and that problems will follow us.’ 

It is unclear when the murder took place, but a woman told the authorities she had arranged to meet with him on July 19 to hand back the keys to the apartment he rented to her, but he had failed to show up.

The businessman described himself as an investor who also sold and rented luxury vehicles.

But Algaba reportedly found himself under financial and legal pressure, with one of his companies failing to even have a tax identification number while another was reported for fraud and a third had debts.

His creditors had also been pursuing him in recent years, opening lawsuits against him following bounced cheques.

According to local media, Algaba had a rags-to-riches backstory.

He used to sell sandwiches and deliver pizzas in his hometown before buying vehicles to repair and resell. 

He started selling sandwiches aged 14 but later made a fortune investing in cryptocurrencies and the stock market.

By the time he was 24, he had a huge warehouse full of high-end vehicles.

Algaba once said in an interview: ‘I travelled to Paraguay a lot to buy tyres; they were much cheaper than in Argentina.

‘This allowed me to refurbish the cars and resell them at a better price.’

He had registered several companies through notaries in recent years.

He had been living in Miami in the USA until early this year, when he travelled to Spain. Shortly before his killing, he had returned to Argentina.
