Community mourns James Pakis following alleged murder in Sydney’s Belmore

·

James “Jamie” Pakis was allegedly murdered at a home in Belmore in Sydney’s southwest at age 34, on March 15.

Police responded to a welfare check at the Lakemba Street residence, where they found Pakis with multiple stab wounds.

Jonathan Isaac Woods, 21, has been charged with murder and remains in custody, with a court appearance set for May 14.

In the wake of his tragic death, tributes have flooded online. A close friend described Pakis as “a big part of the community,” noting that despite his sharp and unapologetic nature, he was “a good soul who cared about the people around him.”

Alicia, a close associate, shared that Pakis’ death occurred on the anniversary of her relationship, and noted his daily conversations with her partner.

A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to cover Pakis’ funeral costs, with the family exploring other options for financial support, including the NSW Government Victim Support Scheme.

The campaign description encourages contributions, stating, “If Jamie ever made you laugh, pissed you off, or even just made this community more interesting, consider chipping in.”
