Man kills girlfriend for her life insurance of policy and a half share of the £137,000 two-bedroom house.

It was released today after a jury today found Nowak, 31, guilty of smothering the young graduate to death at the home they shared in a plot hatched with his secret lover.

After the killing, Anna Lagwinowicz, 32, joined her devoted uncle, Tadevsz Dmytryszyn, 38, in dumping Miss Wells-Burr’s body in her car at a nearby roadside and setting fire to it.

At Bristol Crown Court today, Nowak, Lagwinowicz and Dmytryszyn were convicted of the 23-year-old business analyst’s murder in September 2012. They will be sentenced on Monday.

The Bath Spa University graduate died as a result of a plot driven by revenge, jealousy and greed.

With her death the three defendants would secure a £123,000 life insurance payout and a half share of the £137,000 two-bedroom home Nowak lived in with his girlfriend.

The murder was the result of months of secret meetings and phone calls between Nowak and Lagwinowicz, with Miss Wells-Burr oblivious to her part in the so-called love triangle.

Murder victim: Catherine Wells-Burr who was murdered by her cheating Polish boyfriend as she slept in their newly-bought home they shared

Burly Nowak smothered a sleeping Miss Wells-Burr with a pillow, before Lagwinowicz and Dmytryszyn removed her body from the house and drove it in her red Ford Focus to a countryside beauty spot at Ashill.

They placed the university graduate in the driver’s seat and set fire to the car at 6am – 20 minutes after Nowak had clocked in at work – providing him with what he thought was the perfect alibi.

The defendants had spent months leaving a false trail for detectives, creating fake profiles for Miss Wells-Burr on adult websites and sending texts to her phone from a supposed mystery lover.

Nowak, of Chard, Lagwinowicz, of Taunton, and Dmytryszyn, of Taunton, denied having any part in the death during their trial.

But the jury, who sat through seven weeks of harrowing evidence, found the twisted trio guilty of murder after seeing through their web of lies.

During the trial, a heavily-tattooed Nowak wept in the witness box as he insisted he played no part in the death of his ‘true love’.

But the cheating factory worker – who continued to have sex with Lagwinowicz while dating Miss Wells-Burr – failed to provide the court with any other explanation for how his girlfriend could have died.
