A 23-year-old man accused of murdering his partner told police she died during a sex act, a court has heard. Dawid Lukasz Mietus, of Drumalane Park in Newry, Co Down, was charged with murdering Patrycja Wyrebek (20). Mr Mietus, who is originally from Poland, was arrested on suspicion of the murder of his partner hours later. The accused told police that he and Ms Wyrebek, who had been partners for seven or eight months, had a shared interest in erotic asphyxiation. Jonathan Browne, a barrister for the accused, told Newry Magistrates’ Court that Mr Mietus claimed his partner had introduced him to that form of sexual intercourse.
