Hounslow Man Avoids Murder Conviction in Fatal Stabbing of Father
Mateusz Staszczyk, 26, from Great South West Road, Hounslow, was charged on December 16, 2021, with the murder of his 48-year-old father, Jacek Staszczyk. Jacek was found with fatal stab wounds at his Chatsworth Crescent home three days earlier.
Guilty Plea and Sentence
On October 27, 2022, Mateusz pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to manslaughter by diminished responsibility. On Friday, February 10, he was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order rather than prison.
Investigation and Impact
Senior Investigating Officer, DCI Brian Howie, Specialist Crime, said: “This is a terribly sad case, which of course represents a double tragedy for the family of Jacek Staszczyk. My thoughts and sympathies remain with them today.”
