Driver’s wife: ‘I killed him. I took hope away from him’

It was her request for them to separate that sent him to his death, according to the distraught wife of the suicidal Polish taxi driver who caused multiple deaths when he deliberately ploughed into the car of a Cork family.

Agnieszka Wojiechowska, 26, said she found the suicide note left by her husband, Marek, following an argument which culminated in her asking him to move out of the family home.

Ms Wojciechowska was interviewed at Torquay police station a week after the multiple tragedy that ultimately claimed the lives of Con Twomey, 39, his 16-month-old son Oisín, and his unborn daughter, Elber Marie, in the UK in July last year.
