Man linked to deaths due in court
Thursday 23rd September 2010, 11:04AM BST.
A 58-year-old Shropshire man accused of murdering three county men in 1994 is due to appear in court this afternoon.
Shrewsbury man Robin Stanislaw Ligus was due to appear before Birmingham Magistrates Court.
Ligus is accused of murdering Ludlow antiques dealer Trevor Bradley in April 1994. His body was found in his burned-out car near Melverley.
He is also charged with murdering Brian Coles, 57, whose body was found at his bungalow in Higher Heath, near Whitchurch, six months after Mr Bradley was killed.
Ligus is also accused of murdering Bernard Czyzewska, 36, whose body was found in the River Severn in November 1994. The deaths of the three men have remained unsolved for the last 16 years.
The body of Mr Bradley, who lived at Sidney Road, Ludlow, was exhumed last year as part of a cold case review.
Detectives had made several re-appeals over the last 16 years in an attempt to find anybody with information about Mr Bradley’s death to come forward.
The investigations into the other two deaths were closed following the initial probes after inquests concluded Mr Coles suffered his head injuries from a series of falls at his home and Mr Czyzewska fell in the river after drinking alcohol or may have been pulled into the water by his dog.
The deaths were all reopened as cold case reviews in the following years.
