A Valletta resident with a history of violent crime has been released on bail after stealing boxes of soft drinks and a bicycle from various parts of the capital city. Mohammed Mokhtar Mohammed Jamhur, 30, from Libya was arraigned on charges of theft and aggravated theft, as well as recidivism. In November 2016, he received a suspended sentence for stabbing his wife's lover, only to return to court, three days later, charged with threatening the man he stabbed. Lawyers Franco Debono and Francesca Zarb, defence counsel to the man, indicated that he would be admitting the charges and suggested probation. No deposit was required, after his lawyer said the man did not have the financial means to provide this.
