A father pleads not guilty to the murder of his own family in a crime | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
that rocked a community. Also tonight: Why did a Jersey | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
civil servant get a half a million pounds to leave his job? | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
And, a long time coming. A new memorial to the 75 sailors killed | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
in Channel Islands waters over 60 years ago. It was about time we had | :00:35. | :00:45. | |
:00:45. | :00:48. | ||
some acknowledgement from the Navy. A man charged with killing six | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
people, including his own children, has pleaded not guilty to their | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
murders. Damian Rzezowski, 31, originally from Poland, appeared | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
before Jersey's Royal Court this afternoon. Edward Sault reports. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
Damian Rzezowski is charged with the murders of six people, at this | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
property in St Helier in August of last year. Those that died include | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
his wife Izabella, his two children Kinga and Kacper, his father in law | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
Marek Gartska. And his wife's friends Marta de la Haye and her | :01:22. | :01:32. | |
:01:32. | :01:35. | ||
daughter Julia. Today's hearing today lasted just a few minutes in | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
front of the Royal Court. Rzezowski it appeared via video link. Six | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
counts of murder were read out. Rzezowski pleaded not guilty. | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
Instead, his defence team offered six counts of manslaughter on the | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
grounds of diminished as a possibility. The bailiff asked the | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
sinister General whether those counts would be accepted. The reply | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
came as, no. There will be a further hearing in June before a | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
trial on the 13 August. A former Chief Minister has told a | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
scrutiny hearing, examining a �546,000 payoff to a senior civil | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
servant, he'd do the same if he was still in charge. Frank Walker | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
explained why former chief executive Bill Ogley's contract was | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
changed so he'd receive the money if he left early. Our political | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
reporter Chris Rayner has been at the hearing. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
The Treasury Minister was last to give evidence today at the | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
committee which is looking at the events surrounding the departure of | :02:35. | :02:45. | |
:02:45. | :02:47. | ||
Bill Ogley from his job. And why he was paid �546,000. Bill Ogley has | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
said it was because of a breakdown in his relationship with the | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
Treasury Minister. But the minister said he had a good relationship | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
with Ogley, and supported him when he was publicly criticised during | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
the historic abuse investigation. They did have differences of | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
opinion on certain matters, but he refused to discuss in public what | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
he described as personnel matters. Evidence was given by Frank Walker, | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
former Chief Minister, who reluctantly agreed to change the | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
terms of the contract. For that included a pay-off or should the | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
relationship between him and the states break down. At the time Bill | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
Ogley was considering leaving, Mr Walker said it would have cost much | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
more. When asked if he was aware of the clause of triggering the pay- | :03:36. | :03:44. | |
off, the minister said he was aware it existed but not of its detail. | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
The crew of a yacht stuck on rocks in Guernsey have been interviewed | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
by Guernsey Harbour Authorities today. The Ardel became wedged in | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
the early hours of Sunday morning, whilst trying to sail from the QE2 | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
marina into the Victoria Marina. The two crew members were rescued | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
unhurt, but tidal conditions meant attempts to dislodge the boat were | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
delayed. A States of Guernsey department and | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
a local port operator company have appeared in the Magistrates Court | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
charged with breaching Health and Safety laws. It's claimed that, on | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
7th March last year, the Public Services Department, and Guernsey | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Stevedores Limited, failed to ensure the health, safety and | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
welfare at work of employees. No pleas were entered and | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
representatives from PSD, and the company will appear before the | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
Magistrates Court again on 2nd May. Aurigny's managing director says | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
the new aircraft parking system at Guernsey Airport is performing well, | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
despite some early hiccups. Malcolm Hart says the extra waiting times | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
are having a small environmental and cost impact. However, he says | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
it's early days for the system, and he's confident the teething | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
problems can be smoothed out. 61 years ago today, a Royal Navy | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
submarine, the HMS Affray, sank, with the loss of 75 lives whilst on | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
a training exercise in the English Channel. The wreck lies in the Hurd | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
Deep, and today, a memorial to those who perished was unveiled at | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Braye Harbour in Alderney by Martin Allen, whose father served on HMS | :05:03. | :05:13. | |
:05:13. | :05:15. | ||
Affray. Our Alderney reporter, David Earl, brings us this report. | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
NEWSREEL: It is not for us to dramatise the tragedy of what | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
happened to the HMS Affray. The wreck of HMS Affray was | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
eventually found some three months later but, until now, there has | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
been no memorial remembering those who perished in the disaster. | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
what triggered it off was my father used to be a crew member on the | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
Affray. He was recalled that day, and he wasn't there that day | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
because he was transferred to another submarine. So I would not | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
be here if things had been different. He always spoke of the | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
HMS Affray in affectionate terms. But we still went ahead with this. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
One of those present at today's unveiling was June Tower, the widow | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
of Lieutenant John Treleaven, who was lost when the Affray sank 61 | :06:05. | :06:15. | |
:06:15. | :06:17. | ||
years ago, today. It was the end of a long wait, we had waited 61 years, | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
and it was about time I thought we had something, some acknowledgement | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
from the Navy. They never apologised for losing our men. | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
After a short but moving memorial service, guests were taken by boat | :06:29. | :06:37. | |
to the site of HMS Affray, now an official war grave. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
A Royal Navy spokesman said it's still not known what happened to | :06:40. | :06:48. | |
the submarine, or why the accident took place. You're watching the BBC | :06:48. | :06:51. | |

Victoria... 60 years of surf life saving celebrated at Britain's | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
oldest club. Jersey Hospice launched their sixth | :06:58. | :07:07. | |
annual million pound lottery draw today. 6,000 tickets costing �300 | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
each went on sale this morning. Jersey Hospice costs �6,000 a day | :07:10. | :07:13. | |

Jersey Rugby Club are now only one win away from promotion to the | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
championship after beating Macclesfield 39-0 at the weekend. | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
The island side have been strong all season, with record numbers of | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
supporters turning up to cheer them on. Chris Harrison was at the game. | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
It was a frustrating first half for Jersey. Macclesfield were not going | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
down without a fight. The only points scored were by the island | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
side's Nick Trower, to put them ahead. But, in the second half, | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
Jersey found their momentum and stomped over the visiting side with | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
six tries. Guy Thompson, seen here, was on top form, scoring a hat | :07:49. | :07:59. | |
:07:59. | :07:59. | ||
trick. Some fantastic gameplay wowed Jersey's supporters. Further | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
tries from James Copsey and Jim Brownrigg brought the final score | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
to 39-0. Jersey are now only one win away from a promotion to the | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
Championship League. They meet Coventry away next Saturday. It | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
could be Jersey's third promotion in a row. This is a talented side | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
determined to go places. We are preparing as they have done | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
all season, making sure they have plenty of energy. Coventry will not | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
lie down. We want to game -- when the game really, that is our focus, | :08:36. | :08:46. | |
:08:46. | :08:50. | ||
defend accordingly. It has worked We'll be previewing this weekend's | :08:50. | :09:00. | |
