Fetcham murder: Viktoras Bruzas jailed for life
A builder who murdered a property
developer and his wife in a frenzied
knife attack has been jailed for life.
Patrick and Gillian Kettyle were found
with stab wounds at their house in
Fetcham, Surrey, on 27 November.
The Old Bailey was told Viktoras
Bruzas, 39, believed his ex-wife was
having an affair with Mr Kettyle and
carried out a revenge attack.
The Lithuanian national, who admitted
two counts of murder, was ordered to
serve a minimum of 33 years in prison..
He changed his plea on Wednesday
after denying the charges at a previous
hearing.
The Kettyles, who were both in their
50s and known as Pat and Gilly, were
described as the “most fantastic parents”
and a couple who “dearly loved” each
other.
Bruzas, from Walton-on-Thames,
attacked Mr Kettyle with a kitchen knife
in a “particularly brutal” manner because
he blamed him for “ruining his life” and
the failure of his marriage, according to
prosecutor Alan Kent QC.
The Old Bailey was told it was likely
that Mrs Kettyle was stabbed as she tried
to protect her husband.
The pair’s teenage son, who cannot be
named for legal reasons, hid after being
woken by screaming and shouting and
held the handle of his door when the
killer approached his bedroom.
But the court heard Bruzas told the
boy through the closed door: “I have
no issue with you, boy, or your mother.
It’s Patrick, he’s ruined my life. I’m not
scared of prison.”
Mr Kent told the court: “On that evening
he left his flat armed with a knife,
intending to take the ultimate revenge,
and that’s what he did.
“The victims were a perfectly normal
middle-aged couple who were, in their
own home, murdered by this defendant.
‘Violent and controlling’
“Patrick Kettyle was clearly a very
charming man. It seems the defendant’s
wife began to talk to Patrick Kettyle
about the state of her marriage.
“She would complain that the defendant
was a violent and controlling man and
had been that way throughout their
marriage,” added Mr Kent.
Bruzas learnt of “flirtations” after he
logged into his wife’s email account.
He made threats against the property
developer several months before the
murders and was issued with a police
notice.
On one occasion he drove to Mr
Kettyle’s house in the early hours and
shouted: “Why are you trying to take my
wife away from me?”
He also emailed him saying, “My family
going to sort out.”
Surrey Police launched a manhunt for
Bruzas, who was thought to have fled to
West Sussex, following the discovery of
the couple’s bodies.
The court was told he asked officers,
“How long do you get for murder in this
country?”, when he was caught driving
his car through the nearby village of
Oxshott 18 hours later.
Det Ch Insp Mark Preston said: “This
deeply saddening incident has been
devastating for the family and friends of
Patrick and Gillian and left the close-knit
community of Fetcham in shock.
“I welcome today’s guilty plea and
lengthy custodial sentence and I hope
that it will bring some form of closure to
the family.
“I would like to recognise all the officers
and staff who worked tirelessly on the
operation to find and capture Bruzas as
quickly as possible and on the murder
investigation itself to ensure he was
brought to justice.”
