Maltese authorities have arrested eight people in connection with the murder of investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said in a statement Monday. The force of the blast reduced her car to pieces and catapulted the journalist’s body into a nearby field, witnesses said. Half an hour before the explosion tore into her car, Galizia wrote on her blog: “There are crooks everywhere you look now. “During this operation, 8 persons were arrested” the statement said, adding that they faced “reasonable suspicion in connection with involvement in the murder” of Caruana Galizia. All the suspects were Maltese nationals, Muscat’s statement added.
