The judge presiding over the trial of two men accused of the murder of Sion Grech, a 20-year-old transgender sex-worker in Marsa, 18-years-ago, announced this morning that he had received an email making claims about the case and allegations about one of the accused men. The email is understood to have been sent from a government email address, by an individual who did not conceal their identity. Addressing the trial this morning, Mr. Justice Aaron Bugeja solemnly declared that he does not communicate with any party, in any way. Ismael Habesh from Libya and Faical Mahouachi from Tunisia are currently on trial, accused of stabbing Grech to death in a Marsa field. A scene of crime officer who had documented the murder scene also testified earlier today.
