A newly released trailer offers a glimpse into what is described as one of the most harrowing and complicated cases, ahead of the premiere of a two-part true crime documentary series.
The Jigsaw Puzzle Murder, which debuts on Paramount+ on November 12, revisits a case that stunned the nation in 2024. The investigation began after police were called to woodland on the edge of Salford, where Greater Manchester Police officers discovered a dismembered human torso wrapped in clingfilm.
Chilling Call to Emergency Services
The trailer plunges viewers straight into a call to emergency services, with one caller heard saying: "I need someone to get to us as soon as possible. There's something wrapped in clingfilm covered in blood."
A detective involved in the case tells cameras: "This is one of the most harrowing and complicated cases. Doing this job as long as I have, you're rarely shocked."
Investigation and Arrests
The series follows the murder of Stuart Everett by Marcin Majerkiewicz, hearing from those directly involved in the case. An official synopsis explains that what appears to be the first real lead only deepens the mystery, with new suspects emerging and digital and forensic analysis revealing startling information.
In the days after Stuart's death, messages continued to arrive from his phone to friends, family, and even his bank. As detectives unravel what happened, the investigation widens again, and another body part is found. Michal Polchowski, a third man who shared the house with Stuart and Marcin Majerkiewicz, is soon arrested but makes no comment during interview, although his phone and CCTV place him at the house around the time Stuart was killed.
Trial and Final Turn
A vital discovery at the local reservoir transforms the case, and the series culminates in a gripping murder trial against Marcin Majerkiewicz, securing justice for Stuart and his family. The story has one final turn, as Michal Polchowski, the man once accused alongside him and ultimately cleared of any involvement, tells his side of the story for the first time.
