Sgt. Jan Pawel Pietrzak, who was raised in Bensonhurst, and his wife, Quiana, were found bound and gagged in the ransacked house, each shot in the head.
Pietrzak was the suspects’ sergeant at Camp Pendleton, Quiana’s mother said Wednesday.
“They’re monsters,” Faye Jenkins told the Daily News. “They’re monsters.”
Pietrzak’s mother, Henryka Pietrzak-Varga, said she had prepared herself “for the possibility that my son could die in Iraq.”
“But to die like this, in their own home?” she told The News. “They were good kids. They didn’t deserve to die like this.”
