A FACTORY worker said he could offer no explanation as to why he killed his partner when he did.
Zbignew Yacek Madrzak, 52, of Fox Street, took the stand on the fourth day of his murder trial at Hull Crown Court and described regular violent and aggressive outbursts from partner Malgorzata Lasak, 52, which drove away friends and family.

Madrzak admitted killing Miss Lasak, but denies murder, claiming he was provoked.

Madrzac said: “That is correct. Everything is correct.
“She was saying all of that so spitefully.
“So spitefully, like I was nobody to her, like I was scum.”
Mr Harbage asked him what was going through his mind during the attack.
Madrzak replied: “Nothing was passing through my mind. Nothing.”
He was also asked if he had intended to kill Miss Lasak when he got up that morning.

“I loved her.” And asked why the incidents of thrown coffee and damage to his hat in early February 2009 – Madrzak said he did not know the exact date – triggered the attack, he said: “I don’t know
