A British man was sentenced Tuesday to 26 years in prison for murder after he was caught on a body camera video stumbling back to the scene of the fatal stabbing, and telling a police officer, “I know what happened.”
Marek Hecko, 26, from Chelmsford, Essex, has been found guilty of murder for knifing to death his romantic rival, 44-year-old Adrian Ellingford, who was in bed with the defendant’s ex-girlfriend.
Ellingford, a married father of two, was stabbed twice in the back at a home in Nelson Grove on July 25, 2022.
Just a few hours later, a body camera worn by a police officer guarding the crime scene recorded a visibly inebriated Hecko coming over while taking swigs from a half-empty bottle of brandy.
In the video, the officer asks Hecko to state his name, which he refuses to do.
