Andrzej Mucha

Age: 55

Sex: male

Date: 29 Nov 2021

Place: Slough, Berkshire

Andrzej Mucha went missing and it was thought he had been murdered.

Two men were charged with his murder, but the charges were later dropped. However, it was reported that they might be extradited to Poland were they would be tried, a situation described as unusual.

It was claimed they had beaten and strangled him at a flat in Slough, Berkshire.

Andrzej Mucha's daughter last spoke to him on 29 November 2021. A murder investigation was launched in July 2022 after it was determined there was no proof of life and the two men were arrested.

It was thought that the two men had murdered him and buried him in a wood near Slough, taking his body there in a suitcase.

It was reported that Andrzej Mucha's flatmates saw the two men kill him and that they later told them what they had done with his body. The flatmates gave signed statements to that effect.

However, their statements were later ruled as inadmissible by a judge who said they could have made up their claims to cover for any potential involvement of theirs in his murder. After giving the police their statements, the two flatmates returned to Poland were they made similar statements to the Polish police, who it was noted were considering the unusual move of prosecuting the men in Poland for the murder where the standards for evidence is lower and had requested the men's extraditions.

However, representatives of the two men said that the extradition should be blocked because all the alleged acts took place in the UK. It was further claimed that an extradition would be an abuse of processes as it was already known that the evidence against them, the two statements, had already been deemed inadmissible in this country. It was also noted that there were possible issues relating to corruption in Poland which would mean the men might not get a fair trial.

Their extradition was being considered in June 2024 but nothing more is known.

At the time Andrzej Mucha vanished, the men were both wanted for violent offences in Poland.
