Two men have been jailed for the murder of a man in Boston.
42 year-old Marcin Stolarek was brutally assaulted at a house in Union Court in November 2019.
His body was later dumped in a waterway - but wasn't discovered until January 2020.
34 year-old Adam Kaminski and 28 year-old Lukasz Ferenc and were sentenced to 19 and 22 years respectively.
At Lincoln Crown Court today, the judge said the drugs-related murder was of "shocking brutality, akin to an execution".
Det Supt Karl Whiffen, of East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU), led the investigation.
Following sentencing, he said: “I cannot begin to imagine the pain suffered by Marcin’s family who continue to grieve the loss of a son, and a father. Our thoughts are with them today.
“This was a painstaking investigation that lasted 16 months, and it’s thanks to the tireless efforts from my team that Ferenc and Kaminski will now spend years in prison.
“There were a number of challenging elements: Initially we did not have an identity for the victim, but thanks to the support of people locally and in Poland, we began to build our case. Given the many weeks between the murder and discovery of Marcin’s body there were other challenges too, but the team remained resolute.
“Our goal has always been to provide answers for Marcin’s family, and to make sure his killers were brought to justice.”
In a victim impact statement read at court, Marcin’s father said: “The murder of my son caused my heart to break in to a thousand pieces, which will never mend again.”
Another victim impact statement, from Marcin’s mother, read: “I do not know how to put into words my heart-breaking pain…It was he who was supposed to bury me, not I him, although I actually died with him.”
Three other people were also sentenced in connection.
