Anna Podedworna Conviction: On Feb. 10, 2026, a Derby Crown Court jury convicted 40-year-old Anna Podedworna of murdering her partner Izabela Zablocka, plus perverting justice and preventing burial, after over seven hours of deliberation. Zablocka vanished Aug. 28, 2010, post-phone call to her Polish family; her remains—severed with a large knife, legs taped—were unearthed June 1, 2025, in their Derby backyard under concrete.
Case Details
Podedworna, a skilled butcher, allegedly killed Zablocka soon after her last call amid a “stormy” relationship possibly fueled by jealousy; she claimed self-defense accident but was rejected by jurors.
Prosecutors said mounting pressure from a Polish TV journalist prompted her May 2025 confession to police, revealing the burial site.
CPS called it a “savage” murder denying Zablocka’s family closure for 15 years.
Sentencing
Podedworna, showing no reaction to verdicts, faces sentencing today, Feb. 11, 2026—no outcome reported yet.
