Libby Squire’s Mother Reads Prison Letter to Killer After He Refused Meetings

Demanding answers in a vodcast reading, she signals her plan to keep him behind bars.

Overview

  • This week Lisa Squire read a letter to Pawel Relowicz on the Key Witness: Aftermath vodcast after he twice refused her requests to meet in prison.
  • Relowicz was convicted at Sheffield Crown Court in February 2021 of raping and murdering 21‑year‑old Libby Squire and is serving a life sentence with a minimum term of 27 years.
  • Libby went missing after a night out on 31 January 2019 and her body was recovered from the Humber Estuary on 20 March 2019; police later linked a vehicle to Relowicz and found items and forensic traces used at trial.
  • Since the conviction Lisa has campaigned to improve reporting of sexual offences, including work with Thames Valley Police on the 'It Does Matter' initiative, and she says she will work to prevent his release.
  • By making her questions public she keeps pressure on the parole and prison systems and aims to keep Libby’s case central to calls for tougher responses to non‑contact and escalating sexual offending.
