Gilbert Delestre


Fucking Nit whits, beat and killed a 3 year old cause they found fucking spilled yogurt and milk in the living room floor. Then they tried to blame the baby sitter for it.

WOONSOCKET, R.I. (WPRI) - According to Attorney General Patrick Lynch, convicted child killer Gilbert Delestre, will be sentenced next month. This comes after his lawyer decided not to file a motion for a new trial.

Delestre was found guilty of second degree murder in the 2004 death of three-year-old T.J. Wright.

Delestre was accused of viciously beating Wright because the child made a mess in the apartment he shared with Wright's aunt, Katherine Bunnell. Prosecutors said the pair had just returned from a night of drinking when the beating occurred.

During the trial, Delestre admitted to hitting Wright, but said he did not intend to kill him. A jury has already convicted Bunnell of second-degree murder. She's currently serving a life sentence with the possibility of parole.

Meanwhile, Delestre faces a maximum sentence of life in prison

Katherine Bunnell, Delestre's then-girlfriend and the child's aunt, was convicted in a separate trial in May of second-degree murder and murder conspiracy. She was sentenced to life in prison but will be eligible for parole in fewer than 25 years.

Wright and his two brothers were placed in the couple's care while their mother, Bunnell's sister, was in prison out of state. Prosecutors say the couple beat Wright after returning to a messy apartment from a night out drinking.

Menard and another officer, Lt. Norman Galipeau, who went to the couple's apartment, said they found Delestre standing calmly outside while emergency crews worked on the child. Galipeau said the toddler was covered in bruises "from head to toe" and was turning blue as officials tried to hook up an IV.

After Delestre led them into the house, they said he and Bunnell beseeched the child's young siblings to blame the teenage babysitter. "He just kept yelling, 'Tell the police, tell the police what the babysitter did,"' Menard recalled.

Delestre would later give a separate statement to police in which he acknowledged hitting the child, causing him to flip backward down the stairs. But that statement was not discussed during the hearing, which continues Friday.

A panel report issued a year after Wright's death found the state erred by allowing the children to be placed with Bunnell and Delestre, who each had juvenile records, and had missed several opportunities to intervene in the case. The child's death is also cited in a pending federal lawsuit seeking sweeping changes to the foster care system.

The jury in Providence Superior Court deliberated for three days. "She was responsible for a young child's life," Attorney General Patrick Lynch said after the verdict.

"She was involved in snuffing it out in the most brutal beating that I've seen or heard about in my experience in the office, and for that she should pay."

Bunnell faces 10 years to life in prison when she is sentenced July 16. During the trial, prosecutors said Bunnell and her live-in boyfriend, Gilbert Delestre, became enraged when they returned to their Woonsocket apartment to find spilled yogurt and milk in the living room.

Bunnell pulled the toddler from his bed, dragged him down the stairs, poured milk over his head and struck his head and face. Defense attorney Gerard Donley admitted his client struck the little boy, but blamed Delestre for inflicting the fatal wounds. Delestre will be tried separately for Wright's death.

Child killer's appeal denied

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - The RI Supreme Court has denied the appeal of a Woonsocket man convicted of viciously beating to death a 3-year-old boy.

Gilbert Delestre was convicted Dec. 4, 2008 of second-degree murder and conspiracy in the death of Thomas "TJ" Wright.

Superior Court Judge Nettie Vogel sentenced him to life for the child's murder and 10 years for the conspiracy charge. The sentence was the maximum under Rhode Island law.

Delestre's lawyers requested a new trial Sept. 28, 2011, claiming the judge in Delestre's trial made errors in her instructions to the jury.

Prosecutors said Delestre and his girlfriend, Katherine Bunnell, returned home from a night of drinking in October 2004 to find a mess. Outraged, the couple pulled the toddler out of bed and beat him.

During his testimony, Delestre admitted to striking the child on the head, but said he didn't mean to kill him.

Bunnell, who is Wright's aunt, was convicted in May 2008 of second-degree murder and conspiracy. She received a life sentence, but will be eligible for parole in less than 25 years.

Bunnell and Delestre were caring for Wright and his brothers because the children's mother was in prison. The case sparked an investigation in to the state's foster care system.
