New charges laid over death of James Pakis

·

Police have laid further charges in connection with the fatal stabbing of 34-year-old James “Jamie” Pakis, who was allegedly murdered at a Belmore home on March 15.

Pakis was found with multiple stab wounds after police were called to a Lakemba Street residence over welfare concerns.

Following an investigation, 21-year-old Jonathan Isaac Woods was charged with murder two days later.

On Tuesday, July 22, detectives arrested another 21-year-old man in Brownsville, later charging him with hindering a police investigation and failing to disclose the identity of a driver or passenger.

He was granted conditional bail and is due to appear at Bankstown Local Court on August 12.

A black Honda Jazz linked to the case was recovered and seized for forensic examination in June.

Remembered by a friend as “a big part of the community,” Pakis was described as “sharp, relentless, and unapologetically himself,” and “a good soul who cared about the people around him.”
