The sister of murder victim Tomasz Waga said her brother was "dumped like a bag of rubbish" by his killers who attacked him for burgling a cannabis factory. Mr Waga was beaten to death by members of an Albanian organised crime group who descended on the scene after the alarm was raised.
Having travelled to Cardiff from London on January 28, 2021, Mr Waga and associated Carl Davies planned to steal £120,000 worth of cannabis plants from a factory in Cardiff. Unbeknownst to them, gardener Hysland Aliaj was in the factory when they broke in and called other members of the crime group, which included Josif Nushi and Mihal Dhana.
The 23-year-old was beaten by Nushi and Dhana, with a baseball bat, a bamboo cane and either them or Aliaj hit him with half a house brick. Mr Waga was also kicked and stamped in the head and body before being dragged out of the house and thrown into a Mercedes car. He suffered 28 injuries to his head and mouth, bruising to his chest and damage to his seventh, eighth, and 10th ribs, to his arms and a degree of swelling and bruising to his brain.
