Good evening and welcome to the BBC in the Channel Islands. Here are | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
the top stories tonight: The police enquiry into Sunday's stabbings | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
continues as the last victims are removed from the former family home | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
in St Helier. Plus friends talk about their shock that this once | :00:23. | :00:31. | |
Apart so violently. He was a calm, quiet guy and I never saw him lose | :00:31. | :00:39. | |
his temper. I know he loved his children. And in Guernsey we take a | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
:00:49. | :00:58. | ||
look at the proposals to increase Good evening. The last two victims' | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
bodies of Sunday's multiple stabbings have been removed from | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
the building today. Meanwhile, the main suspect, the man suspected of | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
stabbing six people to death, has been named locally. He is being | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
treated in hospital where he is under arrest and under armed guard. | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
Mike Wilkins reports on an island trying to come to terms with the | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
shocking events. Two days after they were stabbed to | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
death some of the bodies were removed from the apartment. It came | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
as a surprise to many who had assumed it had happened days ago. | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
As each painful day passes a clearer picture is emerging of what | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
actually happened and the human cost. This is a tender glimpse of | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
what appeared to be the perfect family. But this union of Lubbock | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
was to be brutally destroyed at the end of a knife. The police are | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
still waiting to question the man they suspect of stabbing to death | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
the six people. The 30 year-old Polish man has been named locally | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
as Damian Rzeszowski. His wife Izabella and their daughter and | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
their toddler were among those killed, along with his father in | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
law. One of Izabella's best friends, Marta De La Haye and her five-year- | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
old daughter Julia were also killed. Dominika was a friend and she says | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
she cannot believe that children are gone. I looked at the pictures | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
of those children because I knew them. I knew her little boy because | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
he was the same age as my boy and I knew the daughter as well. They | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
were like children, they are innocent. They were little angels | :02:38. | :02:46. | |
they bring a shine to your home. It is just... I am just horrified. | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
Meanwhile reports that Izabella was pregnant by another man have been | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
ruled out by Jersey police following her post mortem. The | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
police chief has been reassuring islanders and signing a book of | :02:58. | :03:08. | |
:03:08. | :03:10. | ||
condolence. Going back over my career of 31 years, there was an | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
extreme murder case several years ago, but it is a very unusual event | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
on Jersey. Jersey is a wounded community and this holiday island | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
will never quite be the same. As details emerge about the | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
families involved, the island is trying to come to terms with the | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
events. A special Mass has been held in Polish for the deeply | :03:32. | :03:42. | |
affected community. In troubled times Polish people | :03:42. | :03:52. | |
have been turning to their fate for comfort. Words to ease the pain can | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
only go so far as people look on searching for answers. The Catholic | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
Church of Our Lady in St Martin has put on a special Polish mass to | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
commemorate the mothers, children and grand parent who lost their | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
lives in the brittle knife attacks in St Helier. It is hoped a few | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
moments of song and prayer will help the horrors to start to sink | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
in and to enable the Community to begin to grieve. But for many it is | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
all just too much as words and Hames contrast to the stark | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
brutality so extraordinary on a small island communities such as | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
Jersey. I am very sad and I want to tell all the Polish people my hard | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
and my soul are with them. They it is not enough to say it is very sad | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
because I do not understand it at all, what happened and why? Making | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
sense of the events may come later as more details emerge. For now a | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
tight-knit community remains closer than ever, paying respect and | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
tributes to those who are no longer with us. | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
Mike Wilkins is in the studio. As was mentioned, it is a very | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
difficult time before the community. As you can imagine as the police | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
are continuing with their house-to- house enquiries, supporting the | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
forensic teams, the public could be feeling and wrestling with all | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
kinds of emotions at the moment. The health and social services | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
department has set up a dedicated counselling helpline and the | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
Samaritans have also offered their support. Earlier we spoke to one of | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
the island's consultant psychologists. He said people | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
should not be feeling alone with their thoughts at the moment. | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
get a whole range of different reactions. Whatever you are going | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
through his normal. For some people they might have no reaction, for | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
other people they might not be sleeping, they are distressed and | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
upset. The important message is that is a normal process and they | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
should not be worried about it. we have any ideas when the suspect | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
might be question? The doctors have told the police it could be weeks | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
before Damian Rzeszowski will be well enough to face questioning. | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
Meanwhile, the Polish consul will be coming to Jersey on Thursday. | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
Monika Panasiuk will be meeting the authorities and offering support to | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
some people who may be feeling confused, upset and angry. The mike, | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
thank you very much. Turning now to other news today and | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
three men have appeared in court accused of rape in Guernsey. The | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
incident is said to have occurred at a private residence on the | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
island on Sunday morning. The men, aged 27, 29th and 39, are accused | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
of unlawful sexual intercourse with a woman in her twenties. Two of the | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
men face charges of indecent assault and one is accused of | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
attempted rape. All three have remanded -- been remanded in | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
custody. The man who was in charge of Jersey | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
police or part of the island's historic abuse investigation was | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
questioned by a Scrutiny Panel today. David Warcup believes a | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
recent report into financial management of the investigation | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
lacks objectivity. There review hopes to establish whether senior | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
investigating officer, Lenny harbour, was not involved in the | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
report into the financial planning of the investigation. The panel say | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
they are starting to get answers. As you enter be different witnesses | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
you get another piece of the picture. You have to reconcile with | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
what they say to people who have spoken to as previously, or with | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
written evidence. It does not fall into place like a jigsaw puzzle. | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
There are some jarring edges to the different pieces of evidence. | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
Parents in Guernsey could be allowed up to six months' maternity | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
leave if the findings of a new report accepted. The UK allows up | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
to one year's leave, but the report says what they have come up with | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
for Guernsey is a sensible compromise. | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
Angelica wants a little brother or sister. But her mum cannot afford | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
the cost or the time off work. have to be responsible for that | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
child and the bonding of the child as well. If you put them in a | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
nursery, you do not get that precious time with them. If I have | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
another child, I want to bond with them. At the moment Guernsey women | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
have no legal right to burn -- maternity leave, but the | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
consultation document has a list of benefits that may be introduced. It | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
includes increasing maternity allowance to �180 a week. | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
They could get as much as six months off. I do not they -- think | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
they should have it as a right, but nobody should be forced back to | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
work. I think it will put a lot of young people out of work. | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
Definitely. The rest of the world has some sort of scheme in place | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
and the fact Guernsey does not put it behind the times. Hunter Adam | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
told me changes are necessary. Guernsey thought they should be | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
part of the UN Convention for equality and lack of discrimination | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
against women. Part of that is when women are pregnant and maternity | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
benefits. The consultation finishes at the end of September. For | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
Angelica her wishes for a brother or sister may take a bit longer. | :09:47. | :09:57. | |

The weather is a little unsettled across the Channel Islands. We may | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
have some dry, bright and warm weather tomorrow, then all change | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
again as we see some cloud on Thursday. The reason, this area of | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
low pressure and this is strung out through the Channel. That will be a | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
problem over the next few days. Overnight and tonight it moves to | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
the north, which brings us warm air and sunshine. But on Thursday it | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
drops back down again and it will bring us some patchy rain. It is so | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
close by, I do not think things are going to change particularly fast. | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
Some mist forming overnight and towards daunt you may get some fog | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
patches forming. Tamara is the mystique and Gray's dark, but it | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
will brighten up and the sunshine will come through that cloud. In | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
the afternoon there is some sunshine to enjoy as well. It is | :10:51. | :10:59. | |
quite humid air. The coastal waters forecast has the winds easterly for | :10:59. | :11:09. | |
:11:09. | :11:09. | ||
tomorrow. The visibility improves as the mist and fog move out of the | :11:09. | :11:19. | |
:11:19. | :11:22. | ||
way. Most of our surfing beaches will be relatively quiet. The | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
forecast for Thursday is rather cloudy with a risk of some patchy | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
rain. On Friday the weather front moves out of the way so that it | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
brightens and we should see some sunshine for much of the day. All | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
those Saturday is warm and dry, there is a possibility of a few | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
showers turning up, particularly later in the day and into the early | :11:43. | :11:53. | |
:11:53. | :12:00. |
