The trial of the two men accused of killing 20-year old Sion Grech has begun. Mr. Justice Aaron Bugeja is presiding over the jury of Ismael Habesh, 51 from Libya and Faical Mahouachi, 55, from Tunisia, who are both on trial for the 2005 murder, which took place in Marsa. Grech, a transgender woman whose birthname was Simon, had been found in a field two weeks after her disappearance in April that year. Lawyers Edward Gatt and Ishmael Psaila are defence counsel to Habesh, while lawyer Simon Micallef Stafrace is defending Mahouachi. The name of the victim has been changed to refer to the correct name
