The 31-year-old is accused of murdering his wife Izabela (30) and his children Kinga (5) and Kacper (2), as well as his father-in-law Marek Garstka (56), family friend Marta de la Haye (34) and her five-year-old daughter Julia.
Solicitor General Howard Sharp told the court how Rzeszowski stabbed each of his victims while armed with two knives. Each of the three children was stabbed at least ten times.
Rzeszowski denies murder, but has pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, arguing that his mental state was impaired at the time of the killings. The plea has been rejected by the Crown.
