THE Speaker of the House has
ruled that the parliamentary
public accounts committee will
have to wait for a decision from
the Constitutional Court as to
whether Keith Schembri is right
to request a suspension of his
hearing.
Anglu Farrugia ruled on Tues-
day evening that the PAC had
to avoid the possibility of being
found in breach of Schembri's fair
hearing rights.

Gharghur double murder:
Insanity trial for man who
stabbed his mother, aunt
MATTHEW AGIUS
JURORS on Tuesday have begun hearing
evidence in an insanity trial for a man who
fatally stabbed his mother and aunt after
suspecting them of having spiked his cof-
fee.
Kevin Micallef, 47, is indicted for the wil-
ful homicide of his mother and aunt in their
Gharghur home in July 2018.
Micallef allegedly stabbed his relatives in
the washroom before calling the emergency
number 112 and confessing to the crime.
During the insanity trial, a recording of
Micallef's call to the police was played in
court. With her last breaths, Micallef's dying
mother had also reportedly told a court-ap-
pointed medico-legal expert
that they had been stabbed
by her son.
