Killer In The Family

Episode 83 - The Zakrezweski Family

Killer In The Family

Show Notes

In June 1994 Im Pun (Sylvia) Zakrzewski and her two children Edward and Anna were brutally killed by husband and father Edward Zakrzewski. Sylvia was planning on leaving Zakrzewski. As soon as he found that out – he planned the murders.

Nearly 30 years after he killed his whole family, on 31 July this year, Zakrzewski was executed by the State of Florida by lethal injection. His execution set the state’s record for the highest number of annual executions that year so far – totalling nine at that point.

A brutal man, who killed his family brutally, died brutally this year.

This is the story of the Zakrezweski Family.
