    Good, why waste court time when you can use the aul Cilit Bang technique. “Bang! and the dirt is gone.”

  3. From the article:
    The man, who sources identified as Edward Johnston, is believed to have killed Nicolette Ghirxi (48) with a knife in an apartment in Birkirkara, a city in the east of Malta’s main island.
    The two had reportedly been in a relationship which had broken down.
    The Irish embassy in Malta confirmed it is aware an Irishman has been killed by police.
