Sadistic stepdad who tortured and murdered four-year-old Daniel Pelka found hanged in prison

A SADISTIC stepdad serving life for torturing and starving his four-year-old stepson to death has been found dead in prison.

Mariusz Krezolek was serving a life sentence for beating, neglecting and murdering Daniel Pelka in a cruel six-month campaign of starvation physical abuse.

Krezoklek and the boy's mum left Daniel weighing just one-and-a-half stone when he died.

The prison service today confirmed the warped stepdad was found dead in his cell at Full Sutton Prison in Yorkshire yesterday morning.

No obvious cause of death was evident but it is believed he may have committed suicide at category A Full Sutton jail near

Pocklington, East Yorks.
Killer mum Magdalena Luczak, 27, hanged herself in prison last year on what would have been the day before Daniel's eighth birthday.

Daniel was starved and beaten for months before he died from a head injury at his Coventry home in March 2012.
