Just minutes before, Matthew had been sitting at the same table with Daphne at their home, metres away from the fatal blast. Matthew recounted how he saw his mother's butchered leg strewn on the ground as he helplessly looked at the horrific scene in front of him. The jury also saw Kevin Ellul, known as Double 0, testify. Ellull, who gravitated in criminal circles, was the victim of a bomb blast at his Għargħur farmhouse in 2018. The defence tried to suggest that Ellul may have been involved in the bomb that killed Caruana Galizia, even though he testified that he refused to do so. Ellul blamed the Tal-Maksar brothers for the bomb at his farmhouse. A former minister and lawyer testify Ostensibly, the person with the highest profile to take the witness stand was former Labour minister Chris Cardona last week. Cardona only testified for a few minutes in relation to Vince Muscat's claim that the ex-minister had been involved in a 2015 aborted plot to kill Caruana Galizia. Muscat had claimed Cardona had approached the Degiorgio brothers through a third party, settling on a price of €150,000 to kill the journalist. She was an incessant critic of Cardona. Investigators have always treated Muscat's claims regarding Cardona with caution since most of the in- formation about the aborted plot was based on hear- say evidence—Muscat relied on what he was told by the Degiorgio brothers. Cardona told the court he had reached out to the police when the claims first surfaced in 2021 to give a statement and distance himself from the allegations. Cardona denies any such involvement. When asked why he had not taken legal action against Muscat, Cardona said he could not do so be- cause the claims were based on hearsay. He went on to tell jurors that he had not partici- pated in cabinet discussions on presidential pardons after being linked to the murder. Another high-profile witness was lawyer Arthur Azzopardi, a renowned lawyer in the criminal field who used to represent Vince Muscat in 2018 and 2019. Azzopardi had been involved in meetings over a presidential pardon for his former client. He told jurors that he and Muscat were be- coming increasingly concerned the Degiorgio brothers, who along with Muscat were in cus- tody awaiting trial at the time, got to know that the star witness was speaking to the police. A proposal by the lawyer to send Vince Muscat abroad in a witness protection programme fal- tered, Azzopardi told jurors, since he could only speak Maltese. jury that has seen criminals, minister take the stand CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE witness Vince Muscat (with cap), Jamie Vella and Adrian Agius
