๐Ÿš” Arrest

Authorities have arrested a man in connection with a stabbing in Mqabba that left a woman dead, with the suspect reportedly being the brother of a convicted murderer. Separately, a 74-year-old man remains in critical condition following another attack in the same locality. Nine years after the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia, the European Parliament President and the Media Freedom Coalition are once again reminding the government that justice remains due. The anniversary arrived as a documentary was released looking at the journalist through the eyes of those who knew her personally. The environment ministry says a new tender for an incinerator will appear in due course, insisting that current landfill capacity is sufficient. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister is looking toward Brussels, requesting more support to help the economy handle potential energy challenges.
