The grieving mother of a 21-year-old student who was murdered on a night out is preparing to meet her daughter’s killer.
Lisa Squire is gearing herself to come face to face with 26-year-old Pawel Relowicz, who was arrested and charged with killing the student when she got separated from her friends.
“I get that she has to know he has some control over it,” she said. “He has committed the worst offenses imaginable and the prospect of seeing the mother of the person he killed must be quite difficult.”
Mrs. Squire also said that the killer “may be a bit nervous.”
“It’s quite a brave thing for him to do,” she said. “I don’t hate him, I really don’t. I find anger and hatred incredibly draining, so I choose not to go down that route.
“Just trying to muddle through life without Libby is hard enough and there are days when I don’t even want to mother my other three children, or go to work, or walk the dog. I just want to wallow in my Libby world.”
The mother explained that grief can be very consuming and if she had hatred, it would only add another ‘layer of s***.’
Mrs. Squire said she just wanted to get answers about how her daughter died.
Relowicz, a married father of two, was 24 when he took the life of Libby – a second-year philosophy student at Hull University.
According to reports, her friends put her into a cab and gave instructions for the driver to take her home. But after the driver had dropped her off at the house, she’d walked around into the cold and became hypothermic and confused.
That’s when Relowicz attacked her.
Seven weeks later, Libby’s body was found in the Humber Estuary. Her remains were submerged for so long pathologists could no longer determine the cause of her death.
“’I’m not interested in hearing he is sorry, or that he has a problem or that it was a lapse of judgment. I want to know how Libby died,” Mr. Squire said.
“It will be hard, but not harder than living without her. The worst has happened. There is nothing he can say or do that will be worse.”
