Redbridge: A tragic incident unfolded when Marius Ziugzda, 48, was found guilty of murdering his friend, Brian Shields, who was 60. This all happened in a park where they both lived in a disused pavilion. The attack occurred on October 20, 2022, and it was brutal, involving multiple punches and kicks.

Detectives worked hard on this case. They found that Brian suffered severe injuries to his head and chest. Despite Ziugzda claiming they were friends, the evidence showed a different story.

On the day of the incident, police received a call about an unresponsive man at Orchard playing fields. Sadly, Brian was pronounced dead at the scene. Ziugzda approached the police, saying he had been with Brian the night before.

He made a shocking admission, saying, “I killed him today.” His hands had scuff marks, raising suspicions. When questioned, he changed his story, claiming he found Brian uninjured.

However, CCTV footage revealed he had blood on his trousers, which was later confirmed to be Brian’s. Witnesses also reported loud shouting from the pavilion that night.

Ziugzda was charged shortly after, and he’s now awaiting sentencing. This case has left the community in shock, highlighting the tragic consequences of violence among friends.
