A 63-year-old man from Raħal Ġdid has been charged with attempted murder, after allegedly stabbing his sleeping brother-in-law 13 times. Inspector Rizzo told Magistrate Nadine Sant Lia how the Raħal Ġdid police station had received a report of a stabbing on February 20. When asked by the court whether he understood the charges, Frendo replied “Jien naf, kelli inċident,” Defence lawyer Mark Mifsud Cutajar told the court that the defendant understood them. After the lawyer pointed out that journalists were present in the courtroom, the magistrate told the press to only report the official plea, so as not to prejudice the defendant's case.
