Court hears Sligo accused is not a cold blooded killer but caused the death of the the thing he loved the most Reporter: '); Rafal Karaczyn is not a cold-blooded killer who planned his wife's death, but a devoted father who lost all self control and caused the death of "the very thing he loved the most", his barrister has told the Central Criminal Court. The prosecution, however, have told the jury that Natalia Karaczyn's wish to move on with her life was not a provocative act. Barristers for the prosecution and defence delivered their closing speeches today to the jury of eight women and four men in the trial of Rafal Karaczyn (35) of Crozon Park, Sligo. Mr Karaczyn has pleaded guilty to manslaughter but not guilty to murder for the unlawful killing of his wife Natalia Karaczyn on April 29, 2018.
