Schoolgirl, 13, charged with murder as woman found dead after house fire

The family of a 43-year-old woman - believed to be Marta Bednarczyk - who was murdered in Wellingborough, have written a moving tribute to the caring woman they describe as “the matriarch of the family”.


Marta was killed following an incident inside an address in Newcomen Road at about 3am on Monday, March 10.

“Marta was the matriarch of our family. She was a very caring woman, a loving mother, and a supportive friend who could never do enough for those she loved.

“She moved from Poland to the UK in 2010 - first to London and then to Wellingborough in 2012, where she worked in a warehouse in order to bring money home for her family.

“She was engaged to her long-term partner Eugene and had a small but tight network of friends and family.

A 13-year-old girl has appeared in court charged with murder and arson.......

The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, clutched a teddy throughout the brief hearing at Northampton Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

She spoke only to confirm her name and date of birth during a four-minute hearing before three magistrates, where the case was sent to the crown court.

In the afternoon hearing at Northampton Crown Court, where the judge and lawyers removed their wigs and gowns, the teenager was allowed to leave the dock and sit next to her lawyer.

She was remanded into secure detention accommodation until her next appearance at the same court on 11 April.




 
From the timings, firefighters called at 3am, I think we can assume the 13 year old is a relative, either her daughter or step daughter or niece perhaps 😢 A 13 year old stranger wouldnt be in someone's house at that time when the arson was set!
There could be so many situations why this youngster felt the only way was to do this to Marta, I guess it will all come out at the trial. How incredibly sad, Marta sounds like a good woman who was very loved!
I wonder if the girl was told to carry the teddy bear by her defence in an attempt to make her appear sweet and innocent?🥴

OMO, MOO
