The woman said when Dormoy was killed the two years after they were legally separated. She said "I felt nothing when Denis was killed I was no longer in love with him, I was sorry he died because he was my daughter's father. At that time I was living with another man and I was pregnant for him." Murray alleged that her former boyfriend Orlando Isaac was abusive and he was extremely violent with her. "Our relationship lasted about one year and then I left him, but Orlando never gave up on me. He broke into my house once and he raped me another time.
Murray said Isaac was charged with both crimes and he was allegedly convicted. The judge ordered him to pay a fine of Euros 1,500, six months suspended sentence and two-year probation." Murray said the family of Orlando Isaac said there were two restraining orders against each of them but that too she said is not true. "I once asked the judge to give me a restraining order against Orlando and the judge refused. The judge said retraining orders cannot be issued for St. Maarten because the island is too small and the main roads are the same. If I could not get a restraining order from the judge even after I was raped, how could Orlando get one and who gave it to him she asked.
"Orlando would stop me every place and each time he want to go home with me and I would always tell him that it is over between us, I believe he is sick and crazy." Murray further admitted that her husband Raymond Murray had an argument in Marigot with the suspect, this however she said was caused by Orlando. "My husband told me what happened and my daughter was with my husband and she too told me what Orlando did that day. My husband was not someone that liked trouble or fought with anyone. He was a peaceful man and one that loved me dearly. Raymond never carried weapons and it is not because he is from Jamaica he was not good."
Asked about the incident where she went to Orlando's house and took his car keys. Murray admitted to taking his key but she said that was because Orlando had taken her bag earlier. Speaking about early Saturday morning when the fatal shooting took place, Murray said she went to Belto's Pool Bar around 10:30 pm Friday night to play pool and have fun with her friends while her children stayed at a friend's house. She said while playing pool with Raymond he jumped over the pool table and hit her down to the ground. "While I was playing pool my back was turned to the road so I don't know what my husband saw all I know is that he knocked me to the ground and he ran away. By the time I got up I did not see him and I did not know where he went. Someone in the pool bar asked me who Raymond was and I told him that it was my husband and the person said that I was lucky because Raymond just saved my life." "When Raymond came back I saw him with a fishing gun in his hands and a broken pool stick and I asked him what went wrong and he told me it was Orlando that had the fishing gun.
My husband and I decided to call the gendarmes but when I called them they told me that the patrol was busy. We were waiting on the gendarmes for almost an hour on the scene and that is when Orlando allegedly went for a weapon and shot Raymond. Asked if she knew if the two men fought when he left her in the bar or what exactly took place. Murray said she could not say because she did not see where Raymond went. "All I can tell you it was premeditated murder because Orlando went to get a gun and fired the fatal shot. He had time to think about his actions." Murray said.
Murray said while they were waiting on the gendarmes she saw Orlando coming with something shining in his hand and my husband saw him too and he told me to hide behind the car that was parked there. "My husband spoke to me in a harsh voice when he told me to hide behind the car and I did just that. The next thing I heard was a gunshot. I called out to my husband and when I did see or hear him and walked over to him and shook his body. Then I saw blood and I held his head to see where the blood was coming from. When I held his head his brain fell out and I tried to put it back in its place but by then it was too late.
Murray said the autopsy on her husband body was conducted on Thursday and she is leaving the island on Saturday for vacation with her children. Murray also tried to defeat some of the statements that were printed in one of the daily newspapers on Tuesday. The woman admitted that she was having some problems at home with her husband, all of which are financial. "Sometimes when we argue my husband would sleep out and he would say he slept by a friend in Middle Region, but then he would return back home. She said her husband was not working permanently and she is surviving through social aid as well as unemployment. "I was the one paying all the bills because my husband would always say he did not have monies and because of this we had our arguments, but my husband and I were not separated as suggested by someone who called themselves a sister to the deceased. "That person you spoke to is not Raymond's sister, Raymond has one sister on St. Maarten and I am not in contact with her. I did not even know his sister "Joy" is back on the island. Raymond had told me that she went back to Jamaica because she could not find work. "The lady you people spoke to tells everyone she is Raymond's sister but she is not, she is someone who gave him shelter when he first came to St. Maarten. I don't know exactly what type of relationship this person has with my husband but right now she is holding on to his passport." Murray said.
In the meantime a wake is scheduled to be held at the Murray's home in French Quarter on Friday night.
