Clifford Law Offices Files Lawsuit in Death of Woman Killed by Comcast Cable Worker
Press Release, 03/06/2007Clifford Law Offices on Tuesday, March 6, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Comcast cable television company and Premier Cable Communications, a Comcast subcontractor in the death of a young woman. A Comcast worker has been charged with her murder.
Urszula Sakowska, 23, was found strangled in her bathtub on Dec. 8 in her home on the city’s South Side. Police have charged Anthony Triplett, 25, of Chicago with her murder as well as that of another young woman who also was found dead in her bathtub in her home in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood in October shortly after Triplett had done cable work there as well.
Investigators found a watch when they arrested Triplett in early January that traced back to Sakowska and her credit card was recovered two blocks from a home where Triplett had made a service call the day of her death, police said. Cook County Judge Israel Desierto denied bond on Jan. 7 for the suspect and he remains in Cook County Jail.
The civil complaint alleges that Comcast failed to supervise its worker and allowed him to make service calls to customers when it knew or should have known that Triplett was a suspect in the homicide investigation of Janice Ordidge who was killed Oct. 21 in the bathtub of her Chicago apartment.
Robert Clifford spoke to the press on the civil lawsuit filed at 120 N. LaSalle St., 31st Floor, Chicago. Greg Magiera, Urszula Sakowska’s fiancé, made a statement.
The couple moved to Chicago from Poland four years ago. Sakowska was a child care worker for a Chicago family at the time of her slaying.
