130 Years Ago Today
Friday 29th of January 1892Mass murderer Szilveszter Matuska aka The Orient-Express Wrecker is born in Csantavér, Vojvodina, Serbia.
He and his wife (Anna) were arrested on July 19, 1892 by the Serbian authorities following a brief trial and trial in Bali on August 4, 1892. Matuska and his wife were executed on 22 November 1892 (after having previously been released in May of that year after facing an investigation by the Federal Directorate of Internal Affairs for committing numerous counts of drug trafficking and narcotics trafficking); his wife spent the entire year around the murder scene until at least October 21, 1888 in Njusvik. He was murdered for possession of cocaine which he claimed was for his wife, which he was later arrested for in connection with smuggling to Switzerland. The case against his wife is recorded in the testimony of Mr. Zemler in December 1903. In the statement that she gave to her attorney, Ms. Nijvela Ezequiel (1878–1938), Matuska's testimony is given as follows: "I cannot accept her as not a murderer; she is a real maimed, wounded woman who never gave up her own life any longer and was a child. We have found several cases of young girls with their maimed and wounded bodies on the streets, but no evidence of violence."
