Broadholme man found guilty of murder
It follows a two week long trial at Lincoln Crown Court
A 48-year-old-man from Broadholme near Saxilby has been found guilty of murder.
The jury at Lincoln Crown Court heard that Rolandas Karbauskas of School Lane stabbed 58-year-old Saulius Badgziunas following a disagreement back in March and attempted to hide his body.
A family member found Saulius and attempted CPR but he could not be saved and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The trial took two weeks, and a jury returned the verdict today (9th November) after just under ten hours of deliberations.
Karbauskas will be sentenced this Friday.
Lead investigator Detective Inspector Adrian Czajkowski from EMSOU, said:
“This was a brutal and callous murder of Saulius. On the 14 March 2022 at his home which he shared with his family in the village of Broadholme, he was mercilessly stabbed in his back with a dagger by Rolandas Karbauskas.
"Not content with his savage actions, he then dragged Saulius down the garden in an attempt to conceal his body out of sight by depositing him behind a large wooden shed before the family returned home.
"Our thoughts are with his daughter and her family. They have lost a devoted father and grandfather and struggle to understand why.
"I hope that today’s verdict will secure justice for Saulius. I wish to thank the family and witnesses who have come forward to support the investigation.
"I also want to thank the officers and staff from Lincolnshire Police and the team at EMSOU who have pulled this complex and emotive investigation together.”
