Guilty of murdering young mum
4:31pm Thursday 21st June 2007
A POLISH immigrant who strangled a mother to death in front of her baby son is set to be kicked out of the UK after serving a life sentence.
It was said Wojciech Ciesla, aged 49, sneaked into the home of 32-year-old Juline Chambers, on August 5, 2005, looking for food and cash for alcohol after being made homeless.
The car washer pushed Ms Chambers' face into the mattress and throttled her in her bedsit in Ancona Road, Plumstead.
Her 15-month-old son Dejaughn Johnson was found whimpering in his cot with a blanket pulled over his head when Ms Chambers' body was found by neighbours two days later.
Ciesla claimed he had no memory of the incident but an Old Bailey jury convicted him of murder after deliberating for three days.
He was also convicted of burgling two nearby homes before and after the killing.
Ciesla was cleared of assaulting Dejaughn, who was discovered with handprints on his face and finger marks scratched into his skin.
He was also acquitted of burgling Ms Chamber's bedsit.
Judge Clement Goldstone QC ordered reports and adjourned sentencing until July 13.
But the judge today warned Ciesla he will face many years behind bars and also asked the prosecution to serve deportation papers.

I hope the men in prison kick the sh*t out of him. They come over here and think they can get away with everything. The scum. Send them all home as most of them anyway are crimanals from other countrys.
So much for free speech eh!

It is a shame as a lot of people that have come into this country genuinely are hard-working and have skills that we need. However as there are those then so also will there be an influx of thieves, murderers and rapists and I'm not being funny but I'm sure we already had enough of our own of those!!! Not only that but we are also now hearing about organised crime with certain groups in prostitution and drug dealing.
Yes I will generalise on this occasion because when do you hear about women doing these kinds of appalling things? If they do then they are clever enough to get away with it!!!

Yes deportation would be good - but as Poland is now part of the EU and have freedom of movement in Europe that is hardly likely to happen.I believe that South East London is out of control - but that of course is my opinion - not that of the authorities.

He could have come from anywhere so what difference does it make? If someone's a criminal then they're a criminal, if someone's violent then they're violent - you don't suddenly become a violent criminal when you cross the English Channel and if this guy hadn't committed his crime here then he would have done it somewhere else.
The issue here is that a young mum was strangled to death by a burglar. It matters not a jot where he came from and for people to jump on the immigration bandwagon is pretty pathetic - just a poorly disguised attempt to hide racism.
