THE MOTHER of murdered Polish woman Beata Bryl, whose body was found on fire in Wooburn Common, says she is in turmoil as she cannot afford to get her daughter flown back home.

The 23-year-old was beaten to death and set on fire when she was found dumped in the woods in July.

Her body is due to be released this week by Bucks coroners, who dealt with the case, but her mother Marii cannot afford the £2,027 it is going to cost to get her body back.

Speaking to Polish newspaper Super express, Marii says she cannot afford to bring her daughter home as she has been unemployed for six years, while taking care of her disabled brother. Her only source of funding is the £59 a month she receives in income support.

The Polish Consulate General in London has said it cannot help Marii, but has agreed to over look the fee it charges giving permission for the body to be moved.

Michal Mazurek, vice consulate, said: "Usually there is some kind of consular fee. In this case we will avoid this consular fee. We can't pay the cost of such a transportation of the body from the UK to Poland."

Mr Mazurek went on to say that the family could receive a benefit from the authorities in Poland to help cover the cost of transporting Beata home, but Marii can not apply for this as she is out of work.

He added: "We have got a special kind of benefit, which is paid for the family of the deceased person. There are some problems to claim this benefit because the mother of the deceased was unemployed."

The Super express article went on to say that local Polish authorities, including the social services, can't help Marii because she is unemployed.

In desperation she has now turned to Caritas, a Catholic relief organization, for help. It has set up a special bank account in Poland where people can make donations to bring Beata's body home.

Richard Hulett, coroner for Bucks, said: "There are people who are repatriated to their home country all the time, that's an expensive exercise, but the family have to pay for it all, there's no public funding. It is the families that have to take on this burden."

Before a body can be taken out of the country, an out of England' order must be placed on it, for which a coroner gives permission. Mr Hulett added that he hadn't received an order for Beata's body.

l A third man has been arrested in connection with the investigation. The man, 38, from Gravesend, Kent, was arrested in August and was released on police bail until October.

A 26-year-old man and a 27-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of murder and were assisting police with their inquiries.
