It was a quiet night in July 2022 when Adrian Ellingford, a 44-year-old man, felt a strange presence in his home. He carefully pulled back the covers that covered him, sat on the bed -which he occasionally shared with his girlfriend- and, when he tried to put on his slippers, he felt something pierce his back.
A knife would have been embedded close to his ribs with great force. So much so that the blade caught a bone and the handle broke on the spot. It was a matter of seconds for the man to fall to the ground, dead, and not knowing what would have happened.

However, who would have literally “stabbed him in the back” recorded every moment in his memory, remembering every second of how he had stabbed an innocent man, out of a fit of jealousy and hatred.
the not so perfect crime
The man in question was named Marek Hecko, a 26-year-old who had been harassing Stephanie Breame.. The two had been in a relationship for a while, but in May 2022 they decided to end it due to various relationship problems. Since then, according to authorities, Hecko had been harassing Stephanie.
The young woman, for her part, had decided to move on and seek love elsewhere. This is how she met Adrian Ellingford, a cook devoted to his children and profession, who would later become Breame’s boyfriend.
However, on the other side was Hecko, who began to become increasingly obsessed with his ex-girlfriend, to the point that he planned the murder of her current boyfriend.

A man who ‘knows everything’
The next day, Hecko was arrested in the morning hours after he appeared at the police cordon.
According to a video released by the same authorities, The young man went to the place after having drunk two bottles of wine and in a quite remarkable state of drunkenness.
