Libby Squire ‘killer performed sex act in street just hours after he raped and murdered her’
A butcher accused of killing a 21-year-old student “performed a sex act in the street” hours after she was raped and murdered, a court heard.
The man accused of murdering a woman who went missing after a night out performed a sex act in the street just hours after she was raped and killed, a UK court heard today.
CCTV footage of Pawel Relowicz, 26, pleasuring himself after 21-year-old Libby Squires was murdered was shown to the jury.
Libby was allegedly driven to a remote field by the butcher, where she was raped, murdered then dumped in a river, The Sun reports.
The Polish-born dad-of-two, from Hull, denies murdering and raping the philosophy student, who went missing following a night out in February 2019.
She was discovered six weeks later on March 20 in an estuary by a fishing boat – a gold necklace bearing the letter ‘L’ still hanging around her neck.
Mr Relowicz claims to have had consensual sex with Libby before driving home.
CAUGHT ON CCTV
But on Wednesday Prosecutor Richard Wright QC revealed that just hours after Mr Relowicz came into contact with Libby, he was back out on the street looking for women to pleasure himself in front of.
He left his house again and drove back to the field where he is accused of raping Libby.
Mr Relowicz claims he returned to see if the student was OK, but he was later captured on CCTV performing a solo sex act in the street.
The court heard that he left a used condom on the path after he had finished.

Mr Relowicz denied that it was “what he did to Libby” that made him so aroused.
Mr Wright told the court that after he had finished his sex act in the street, Mr Relowicz continued to drive around to look for women.
At around 3.10am, he is seen again on CCTV on foot on the corner of the street near his house.
Mr Relowicz claimed that he “needed some fresh air” and felt “emotionally broken” for cheating on his wife. He said he did not like lying to his wife.
CONDOM ‘CALLING CARDS’
On Tuesday, Mr Relowicz was described as a “disgusting” Peeping Tom who “violated intimate moments”, by his own lawyer in court.
The jury were told Mr Relowicz had pleaded guilty to nine sexually motivated offences, committed in the months before Libby’s death including voyeurism, outraging public decency and burglary.
His last offence occurred just days before Libby went missing in 2019.
The butcher had exposed himself to women and performed sex acts on himself in the street in the year leading up to her death, the court heard.
Mr Wright told the court he left “calling cards” such as used condoms and that he got a “kick out of” scaring women.
He also watched them through their windows as they changed or had sex and swiped underwear and sex toys from women’s homes as “trophies”.
Speaking via a Polish interpreter from the dock on Tuesday, Mr Relowicz was asked why he initially denied the offences before changing his plea.
He said: “I had a family, I had small children, I had a wife.
“It was difficult for me to accept that I had a problem.
“I simply had this fetish and it was my problem. If my wife found out she would have left me,” he told the court, The Sun reports.
Mr Relowicz has admitted putting Libby in his car but said he didn’t physically force her to get in.
He branded her a “very beautiful woman” but denied having any sexual feelings towards her.
Mr Relowicz told jurors he had come across Libby crying and shouting on the pavement and went to see her “out of curiosity”.
He added: “I said I wanted to help her.”
Mr Relowicz told the court he drove Libby to the remote field where she was found dead but stopped the car after fearing she was going to vomit.
He claimed the student then exited his silver Vauxhall Astra and fell to the ground.
He told jurors the pair had sex but Libby “scratched” his face when he didn’t want to kiss her after so he drove away as she screamed at him not to leave her.
Mr Relowicz said he then returned home where he had a bath and washed his clothes to stop his wife discovering he had sex with someone else.
After watching “non-violent” porn, he told the court he returned to the playing field as he was “worried” about Libby but couldn’t see her.
Mr Relowicz denies rape and murder.
The trial continues.
