Eight-Hour Rape Hell

Cousins repeatedly raped a young woman, 24-year-old beautician, coming out of subway yards from the home . They blinded with pepper spray then forced sexual acts. Polish migrant Michel Marchlewski, 21 laughed as the woman pleaded to be released. He admitted abduction, robbery and repeated rape. His cousin accomplice Tomasz Kryczyk, 26, Kryczyk hanged himself in Saughton jail while on remand while Marchlewski faces a possible life sentence for his brutal crimes. Threat of "Cash you go home, no cash you die." caused her to release nank card and pin. She was stripped, forced to perform a sex act and raped again and again by Kryczyk. Afterwhich she was freed to run home to the hands of her husband ... "The complainer recalls Kryczyk raping her five or six times during the eight hours. "She recalls the accused raped her twice during one fairly short period. "At some point during the sexual assaults, Kryczyk placed his hands at the side of her neck and compressed them against her jugular vein. "She said this affected her ability to breathe but she remained conscious. "During her time in the shelter, the complainer was struck on the face and body on a number of occasions. "The complainer continually pled with both men to allow her to leave, to no avail. "She felt under threat of severe violence and indeed death throughout the hours she was held." VICTIM'S ORDEAL: IN HER OWN WORDS I was trying to gain their trust in a sick kind of way. I was trying to pretend I didn't care. I really felt numb. I didn't feel anything emotionally. I felt some physical pain of the intercourse but barely anything emotionally. It was like I was not there, almost like an out of body experience. I was fearing for my life. From the very first point, I feared for my life because I had no idea what they were going to do. They threatened to kill me on so many occasions and I was grabbed twice on the jugular so I could not breathe and was suffocated to the point I blacked out. I was repeatedly choked throughout the sexual encounters. I was assuming the threats were real. I was just thinking this can't be happening. This doesn't happen in real life and I just had absolutely no idea what was going to happen to me. That fear of everything you have feared in your life is about to happen to you. That was what I thought at the start. I felt I couldn't do anything or make any sudden movements without being threatened with mostly the fist motion and the screwdriver. I felt I was under a high level of threat from the time of the abduction. I wasn't sure I was going to survive until I was running down the road away from them.
