The body of Rose McGroarty, 46, was found scattered around the city nearly a year ago. Her husband, Robert Wiszniowski, (right) today pleaded guilty in her killing.
When Rose McGroarty found her common law husband smoking crack in the bathroom, he struck her in the head with a wrench.
The 46-year-old woman, who spent her days volunteering at a community centre preparing meals for the homeless, fell to the floor.
Today, Robert Wiszniowski pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder but guilty of manslaughter and indignity to a dead body in the November, 2005, slaying and dismemberment of McGroarty. Wiszniowski, who used a small-toothed handsaw and kitchen knife to dismember her, was sentenced to 14 years.
High on cocaine, Wiszniowski panicked and put his wife’s body in the bathtub, filled it with cold water and left it for several days while living in their Parkdale apartment.
Employees at a city garbage transfer station found human legs, which sparked a homicide investigation and citywide search for the victim’s identity.
A human torso, head and arms were later found scattered in different locations.
Through an exhaustive - and highly publicized - investigation they were later identified as McGroarty’s. |
