A Pas­tor of an Open Bible Church says jus­tice has not been served in the death of se­cu­ri­ty guard Denise Rack­al who was mauled by four pit­bulls in Ch­agua­nas on Mon­day. Pas­tor Lutch­man Singh, of the In­di­an Trail Open Bible Church, made the com­ment yes­ter­day speak­ing with the me­dia af­ter Rack­al's fu­ner­al ser­vice at the Open Bible Stan­dard Church, East­ern Main Road, Laven­tille. Singh said "jus­tice had not been served". He called on law mak­ers to bring the leg­is­la­tion in­to ef­fect so that the woman's death would have not been in vain. De­scrib­ing her death as "hor­rif­ic," Singh said with­out such laws, "I am not safe, you are not safe, none of us are safe."

Rack­al, 46, an em­ploy­ee of Per­son­al Safe­ty and Se­cu­ri­ty Train­ing Lim­it­ed, was mauled by the dogs as she walked along Flam­buoy­ant Cres­cent, Ed­in­burgh 500. The dogs be­longed to a po­lice of­fi­cer. At the ser­vice yes­ter­day Rack­al was de­scribed as a woman who, de­spite dif­fi­cul­ties, was full of life. Anyse Calder, said her aunt would al­ways be re­mem­bered for her kind­ness and her de­vo­tion to her three chil­dren. Rack­al leaves to mourn her hus­band Li­onel and her chil­dren Chad, Wen­dell and Vana.
