Guards who saw Dimitrios âJimâ Mavris in the hours before he was found dead in his jail cell thought he seemed fine and was even in positive spirits. But an inquest into his 2018 death has revealed the alleged cocaine importer actually spent his final hours openly making arrangements to kill himself, even getting his cellmate to help him, while unsuspecting corrections officers watched TV.
The mechanic turned millionaire property developer and alleged drug importer had been arrested at Sydney airport just 48 hours earlier. Heâd just returned from a wild South American escapade that saw him kidnapped in rural Colombia, where he is thought to have spent a week in captivity before being rescued by local police.
