RIP Jimmy Denis

RIP Jimmy Denis

It is both alarming and saddening to hear that Jimmy Denis, another LDS supporter is the second victim to lose his life in Seychelles in a very short space of time.

Jimmy was visiting family from abroad and was due to go home shortly. The man alleged to have attacked and murdered Jimmy is known to the police as he has a history and record of other more grievous offences. We appeal to anyone who may have any information that may help to lead to a conviction to inform the police ASAP. Jimmy deserves justice!!!

We also extend our condolences to the family during their time of suffering and bereavement. May Jimmy rest in peace and live on in the hearts of those who knew him.

Family members have gone to the islands to collect Denis's body.
Denis and Christine Gagliardi were married on March 20. After the wedding, while his family had returned to Canada, he stayed behind to sell some assets he owned on the islands. He was scheduled to return home next week.
Denis’s sister said the family had been in contact with the Canadian embassy. No motive for the murder has been confirmed.

Today marks the third day of the ongoing investigation into the murder of Jimmy Denis, who according to police reports was allegedly attacked at the Beau Vallon beach on Wednesday night. The victim’s brother Patrick gives to TODAY his account of that
dreadful night.

“When I arrived, they there was blood on his face, but nobody was doing anything to save him”, Patrick recounted to TODAY.
In his account of that night, there were allegedly no paramedics
attending to his brother, Jimmy Denis, or to take him to the hospital for further assistance. Additionally, there was no oxygen device in the ambulance.

According to the police report, paramedics found him unresponsive on the Beau Vallon beach in the late hours of 11pm.
However according to Patrick, his brother could have been saved had they rushed him to the hospital.
“I asked the driver of the ambulance why he was not taking him to the hospital, and he told me he was waiting on the police order”, he explained. “But the police was not doing much.”

He also added that he tried to give his brother CPR, in vain.

He further stated that one police officer, although he cannot recall which one, told him to “drive the ambulance car himself” when he insisted they drive his brother to the hospital. In a state of fury and despair, he placed his brother on a stretcher to hoist him up into the ambulance with the help of his cousins and pleaded with the paramedics to drive the ambulance. According to him the driver refused to move, and he banged on the back of the ambulance screen which separates the driver from the patient. The glass then broke under the pressure of the hit. Patrick was later arrested for damage to hospital property. He resorted to taking his brother to the hospital in his own car with the help of his cousins. Blood stains still remain on the back seat and parts of the car door today.

Patrick says he cannot bring himself to clean it out yet. He explained that the police wanted to confiscate his car as evidence, but he refused.

“At the hospital it took another five minutes to get someone to help us carry him in”, he recalled. “Every minute counts, but we lost so much time trying to get him to the emergency unit.”

The latest police report states that there is evidence that the victim’s death is a direct consequence of an argument with another man – although it has not yet been established who
the suspect might be. The investigation is still ongoing.

It was also noted that Jimmy Denis, who is a resident of Montreal, Canada, was in Seychelles on holiday and was supposed to fly out in two weeks.

TODAY contacted the police for the latest information on the investigation, but they were unavailable for comment as this issue went to press.
