A man who repeatedly smashed his pet dog
against a bedside table, killing it, has been
jailed and fined, with the court making a
strong statement against animal cruelty.
23 year-old Leon Borg was charged in July
with causing an animal to endure unnec-
essary suffering, violently resisting arrest,
breaking a mobile phone belonging to his
mother, breaching two suspended sentenc-
es and violating his bail condi-
tions.

THE Justice Minister has appointed
an independent inquiry to probe the
revolving doors case of former pros-
ecutor Charles Mercieca, who joined
the defence team of Yorgen Fenech.
Edward Zammit Lewis appointed
former chief justice Joseph Azzopardi
to conduct the inquiry.
"This inquiry is being appointed af-
ter it was reported that a lawyer, who
was employed within the Office of the
Attorney General and who, a day af-
ter his resignation, joined the defence
team of an individual accused with
the alleged involvement in the assas-
sination of journalist Daphne Caruana
Galizia, and who is involved in other
judicial proceedings," Zammit Lewis
said in a statement on yesterday after-
noon.
