MATTHEW AGIUS A Sicilian man, on bail for traf- ficking 40kg of cannabis last year, has been charged with the armed robbery of a supermarket in St. Paul's Bay. Sandro Lo Presti, 44, appeared before magistrate Caroline Far- rugia Frendo this afternoon, accused of theft aggravated by violence, means, time and age of the victim, after allegedly holding up the 77-year-old supermarket cashier at knifepoint on 31 May this year, at around 4:30am. Lo Presti was also accused of holding the man against his will, carrying a knife in public without a police permit, failing to abide by his bail conditions and relapsing. Lo Presti, who told the court that he was a gypsum plasterer, had been released on a €50,000 bail bond in May in connection with a drug smuggling case. CID Inspector Fabian Fleri tes- tified that the Sicilian victim had immediately informed the police that the person committing the crime was from Ragusa like him, telling them that the robber's name was Sandro, who worked with a person he knew and who had been in prison. He had threat- ened the owner, in Italian, in a Ragusa accent, not to involve the police 2 or three times, saying he'd get his revenge if that happened. CCTV footage shows only the man's chin as his hood covered the rest of his face, explained the inspector, but Lo Presti's cell phone location data placed him near the shop seven minutes be- fore the crime took place. At the time of the hold up, the phone was off and was switched on around 5am when the man returned to his apartment, the inspector said. Lawyer Franco Debono request- ed bail. The entire case hinged on voice recognition, he said, ar- guing that the fact that Lo Presti lived close to the shop meant that the phone localisation data didn't prove all that much. The prosecution objected to bail, citing the fact that its main witnesses were yet to testify and lived close to the accused. Despite the defence countering this argu- ment with the fact that the victim had already testified in the mag- isterial inquiry, the court denied bail at this stage. Lawyers Franco Debono and Alexander Scerri Herrera were defence counsel.

The decision comes on the back of a public consultation exercise that saw the vast majority of par- ents and students opt for a track- suit. New, comfortable tracksuits will be introduced gradually over the next three years. The uniform will include a tracksuit, polo shirt, t-shirt, shorts, a cap and winter jacket. Designs for the new uni- forms are being done by MCAST students. Different colour schemes will continue to be used for the re- spective colleges. The ministry has decided that from the coming scholastic year (2019/2020) the current uniform will be kept. Parents will be able to send their children to school in tracksuit. From the scholastic year 2020/2021, the new uniform will be introduced for students in Kin- dergarten 1, Year 1, Year 7 and Year 9. From the scholastic year 2021/2022, every student will be expected to wear the new track- suit. The gradual introduction aims to reduce unnecessary costs for parents on school uniforms.
