THE FULL extent of brutal killer Tomasz Bubrowski’s willingness to engage in violence can now be revealed.

On December 14 2014 he seriously injured a man named Dariusz Napirerala, stabbing him in the head, after Mr Napirerala called at an address in Bolton looking for a man who had been involved in an altercation with his brother.

Bubrowski went on trial at Bolton Crown Court accused of intentionally causing grievous bodily harm and was found guilty, but reporting restrictions were imposed at the time to prevent the murder trial jury being possibly influenced by knowledge of the conviction.

Bubrowski had claimed that at the time of the attack he had been at his niece, Anna

Bubrowska’s home in Vernon Street celebrating the birthday of Sebastian Zuchlinski, the man he subsequently murdered.

Mr Zuchlinski and Ms Bubrowska even gave statements to Bubrowski’s defence solicitor.

Yesterday, Bubrowski was told he will spend almost 31 years behind bars after a jury unanimously convicted him of the murder of fellow Polish man, Mr Zuchlinski.

Mr Zuchlinski, aged 39, was ambushed by a gang of men in Davenport Street, Bolton, on the evening of February 6 last years and hacked to death.

Sentencing 39-year-old Bubrowski to life imprisonment with at least 30 years and 278 days before he is eligible to apply for parole, the Honorary Recorder of Bolton, Judge Timothy Clayson told him: "This was a very serious offence of its type. I am satisfied that you intended to kill Zuchlinski and, further, that you were the instigator of this offence.

"It is possible, certainly, that the reason for your violence towards him was some sort of fall out over drugs, but it is not necessary to speculate about that as, if true, it does not lessen your culpability."

During a two week trial at Bolton Crown Court Bubrowski, whose niece was Mr Zuchklinski’s partner, denied involvement in the murder, claiming he had been duped into driving the killers to the street.

But the jury of 11 men and women saw through his lies and, after almost eight hours of deliberation, unanimously found him guilty.
