Toddler Killed By Own Dad Allegedly For Revenge, Grieving Mother Claims

A mother is left grieving after the father of his young son was reportedly killed by his own father. She claims that the evil act was meant “only for revenge.”

Left heartbroken is Patrycja Szczesniak who lost her son named Julius after her ex-partner, Lukasz Czapla shot the child in the head with an air pistol, and stabbed him with a skewer and then suffocated him in Edinburgh on Nov. 20, 2020, per STV TV.

The couple had split in June of the same year. However, Szczesniak still allowed Czapla to see their child and look after him.

“Despite the breakup with Julius’ dad, I wanted him to have contact with our son,” Szczesniak stated. “Julius was murdered only for revenge. His dad wanted me to suffer, he succeeded and achieved his goal, at the cost of my beloved little boy’s life.”

According to the mother, Julius was only two-and-a-half years old.

“If only I knew what was going to happen. I would have never thought he could do this to my child,” she added. “That day, the world stopped, not only for me but also for my mother and my sister.”

It was also added that on the night of the murder, Szczesniak had texted Czapla and told him that he was seeing somebody else in a text message.

Upon reading that, the 41-year-old sent odd text messages to the mother, asking her about her new partner and also her sex life. Szczesniak did not respond to the messages.

That night, Czapla was reportedly chugging down beer and consumed anti-depressants with wine. After that, he reportedly decided to shoot the toddler three times in the head with the gas-powered air pistol.

Three ball-bearings were found on the child’s head.

Czapla was jailed for 23 years for the crime. Szczesniak however vowed that she and her family will make sure that the 41-year-old never leaves prison, the Edinburgh Evening News reported.
