Man arrested in connection with alleged homicide

(PR 584/24) 

In recent days the Police have received information from the administration of the Correctional services Agency that a man who was being detained at the Forensic Section of Mount Carmel Hospital spoke with an Agency official about his involvement in a homicide.

This person was immediately arrested where the case relates to the death of 54-year-old Jesmond Gatt who last July was admitted to Mater Dei Hospital in a critical condition after he was in the forensic section of Mount Carmel Hospital, together with two other persons.

A Magisterial Inquiry was appointed while Police investigations were ongoing, and one of these two persons spoke about his involvement.

The man is being detained at the Police lock-up in Floriana and is expected to be arraigned in Court today before Magistrate Dr Nadine Sant Lia LL. D., charged with the homicide of Jesmond Gatt.
