LIBBY SUSPECT FACES STREET SEX ACT RAP
Search for student continues
A BUTCHER held on suspicion of abducting Libby Squire has been charged with performing a sex act in her street.
Pawel Relowicz, 24, a married, Polish dad-of-two, is also accused of stealing knickers, sex toys, photos and condoms the weekend before the student vanished.
The charges are not related to Libby’s disappearance.
Police have been questioning him since last Wednesday. Libby, 21, was last seen on January 31, when she was turned away from a night club in Hull, East Yorks.
One of the burglaries was at a student house three minutes’ walk from his marital home, reported between January 25 and 28.
The public decency charge accuses Relowicz of masturbating in a public place on January 19. He is also accused of voyeurism last July, when “for the purposes of sexual gratification he observed a person doing a private act knowing the person did not consent to being observed”, a court was told.
He pleaded not guilty through an interpreter before Hull magistrates yesterday. There was no bail application and he was remanded in custody to appear at Hull crown court on March 11. Neither Libby’s parents nor Relowicz’s family was in court yesterday.
The search for Libby went on as police used power tools to strip back undergrowth at Oak Road playing fields not far from her home.
