On Wednesday Kalinowska told the court she was "petrified and scared" of Latoszewski, and that it was a "controlling relationship".Latoszewski, 36, admitted manslaughter on the second day of the trial, while both defendants pleaded guilty to child cruelty a day later.
Asked why she watched her partner "inflict the most savage beatings on your own son" without intervening, she replied: "Because I was petrified and scared."When Mr Smith said she was thinking of herself instead of her son, she said: "Yes. He was just an ordinary teenager. I failed as a mother. I should have died instead of him."
Asked whose decision it was to start punishing Sebastian, she said: "Andrzej's, because he was the head of the house and he was deciding everything."She said: "Andrzej told me to do something. He said I was just standing there and as his mother I should have intervened." Kalinowska admitted calling Sebastian "foul and disgusting names", saying it was "because I was used to those words, because those were the words Andrzej used to address me, so that type of language was being used in the house."
