A jury has returned resounding not guilty verdicts in the trial of two men who were accused of murdering 20-year-old Sion Grech in 2005. 52-year-old Ismael Habesh from Libya and 55-year-old Faical Mahouachi from Tunisia were indicted for Grech’s murder in 2005. Earlier today, presiding judge Aaron Bugeja concluded his marathon summing-up address, a process which he had started on Wednesday afternoon. At 8pm, nearly two hours after retiring to chambers to decide on Habesh's punishment for handling stolen, the judge returned to the courtroom. Lawyer Simon Micallef Stafrace represented Mahouachi.
