Assailants rape Marine’s wife in front of him, shoot both in the head
By Naturally Moi
Two ex-Marines have received the death penalty for doing something horrible to an Iraq war veteran and his new wife. The men raped and beat the man’s wife right in front of him, tied the couple up and then shot them both in the head.
Sgt. Jan Pietrzak, a 24-year old man, had to watch while his wife, Quiana Jenkins-Pietrzak, was being assaulted by the two men. The 26-year old woman died on the spot, right alongside her new husband.
Emrys John and Tyrone Miller, 23 and 25 years old respectively, were given the death penalty for their roles in the horrible crime. Another man, 25-year old Kevin Cox, was given life in prison with no chance for parole, so his sentence will be nearly as severe as his co-defendants.
All of the men are former Marines who allegedly broke into the couple’s home as part of a robbery plot. Sgt Pietrzak was stationed at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station in San Diego and his wife was a counselor with an infant care program in Riverside County.
They’d just been married for two months when the incident occurred. Police say that the assailants bound and gagged the couple, and then set the scene on fire to destroy the evidence.
