Neighbors of ‘incest horror house’ where three babies were found dead say they often heard screams from home depicting ‘daughter having consensual sex with her ‘swearing and cursing’ ‘father’ – as her colleagues reveal a clue that ‘has her given away’
Neighbors of an incest horror house where three babies rot in the basement claim they heard the daughter moaning and screaming as she had sex with her ‘swearing and swearing’ father.
Piotr Gierasik, 54, and Paulina Gierasik, 20, face life in prison for murder and incest after the babies’ remains were discovered in shallow graves and wrapped in plastic bags on the property in the village of Czerniki, northern Poland .
The father and daughter – who had reportedly been dating for four years – were only discovered when the girl’s vigilant colleagues discovered she was pregnant.
Paulina’s colleagues at a pastry shop in the neighboring village of Stara Kiszewa say she started wearing loose clothes as if she were trying to hide her stomach.
And when they returned from vacation, the shocked workers saw him completely changed, despite only being away for a week – because she was skinnier, weaker, constantly tired and forced to sit.
But she was eventually discovered when her colleagues noticed she was covering her nipples with tissues because her milk was leaking.

A colleague – who was visibly upset, according to Polish newspaper Fakt – claimed it was thanks to them that the couple was discovered. “We were all shocked,” he said.
The father and daughter are said to have ‘lived as a couple’ and ‘walked around hand in hand’.
And shocking testimonies now tell how her father ‘shaved her head so other boys wouldn’t look at her’ and that she looked up to him ‘as if he were God’.
The father and daughter were each charged with multiple counts of murder and each with incest.
It comes after the first two babies were found on Friday, but further investigation revealed a third body in an ‘advanced state of decomposition’ on Saturday.
Two of the babies were Paulina’s, investigators said, and the mother of the third is her sister.
Paulina’s colleagues said they became suspicious that she was pregnant after she started wearing large, loose-fitting clothes. She then took three weeks off work, but returned a week later.
A fellow shop worker told Super Express newspaper: ‘We all suspected she was pregnant, I think she had straps tied around her like a corset.
‘When she returned early from holiday, the change was visible. She was much thinner, weaker and constantly tired.
Police work at the site where the bodies of three newborns were discovered in the basement of a house in Czerniki, Stara Kiszewa municipality of Kashubia, northern Poland, September 16, 2023
Police are still investigating the home to see if there are any more bodies hidden in the home
“When we asked about the child, she feigned surprise and denied it.”
Another resident said it Fact newspaper: ‘They lived as a couple. She called him Piotr, by his first name. They walked around hand in hand.
‘A few months ago he shaved her head so other boys wouldn’t look at her.
“She looked up to him as if he were God.”
About the arrests earlier, Mariusz Duszyński from the Gdańsk Public Prosecutor’s Office said: ‘The woman has been charged with two murders and with having an incestuous relationship with her father.
“The man was charged with three counts of murder, one count of incest with his 20-year-old daughter and one count of incestuous relations with another daughter.”
Prosecutors say two of the slain children arose from his relationship with the 20-year-old, who they say had a consensual relationship with her father.
The third baby came from a relationship he had with another daughter after he forced her to have sex.
Prosecutors added that they suspected him of killing the third baby.
The grim discoveries came after police received a tip from social services. One of Paulina’s colleagues is said to have alerted social services after seeing a ‘disturbing’ text message the 20-year-old had sent to her father.

Police found the three baby bodies in the basement of the house, each in various states of decomposition. The ground was covered in dirt and there was no solid floor where they had been demolished.
When Piotr moved to the village about 15 years ago, he had to raise his children after his wife died.
A local resident told the Super Express newspaper: ‘The father was left alone with the children.
‘There are many, ten or twelve, the oldest have already left.
‘Piotr made a good impression. The garden has been neglected, but he has installed new windows in the house.
‘There was no sign of him drinking. He took the children for walks or to the forest to pick mushrooms.
‘Just regular people. Who would have thought such horrors existed in their home?’
But other locals told Fakt that while he “seemed calm,” he “had the devil under his skin.”
It comes at a time when the small town of Czerniki – with fewer than 180 inhabitants, located 50 km from Gdańsk – is accused of committing a ‘conspiracy of silence’ over the allegedly known relationship between the father and daughter.
Locals said they “always suspected something was wrong” with the family.
A neighbor said: ‘We often heard him shouting at the children. His verbal abuse was shocking. Sometimes we heard one of the girls scream.
‘What people say now is that he used to go for walks with them. Maybe, but the whole village knew something like this was happening.
“It’s a small town, so everyone knew about these things.
‘About ten years ago the police were told that he was sleeping with one of his daughters. But upon investigation, they couldn’t find any concrete evidence.
‘The eldest daughter, who we suspected had slept with him, was so scared that she refused to say anything.
‘He (the father) has such a personality that everyone in this village was afraid of him. That’s why this case didn’t appear for so long.”
‘She later moved away, as did many of his other children. There were about twelve of them.’
A neighbor of the eldest daughter told Super Express: ‘She now lives in our village.
‘She has a decent husband. As far as I remember everyone said she ran away from that father.
‘If I were her husband, I would kill that monster. If someone hurt my wife like that, I would kill him too.
Police have so far discovered the remains of three babies buried in the family’s home.
Unconfirmed reports say one of the bodies, wrapped in a black plastic garbage bag, was about three weeks old at the time of death.
Katarzyna Matyszczak, the manager of the confectionery store where Paulina worked, said: ‘Everyone gossiped about it.
‘His youngest daughter Paulina is a beautiful girl. Everyone said she was pregnant. So I asked about it immediately.
‘She denied it. One of her friends didn’t believe it. I won’t say who, but she was the one who informed the relevant services about the whole matter because she suspected that she had given birth to a child.’
Prosecutors are now waiting for an autopsy to determine how the three babies died. Meanwhile, police continue to search the property to see if there are any more bodies hidden in the house.
Both the father and daughter are currently in custody as the investigation continues.
