Rape, violence, injuries to senior citizens
In the first quarter of 2009 there were nine reports of rape, 133 of domestic violence and two of grievous injury to senior citizens, Justice Minister Carm Mifsud Bonnici told Parliament yesterday.
Answering a question by Labour MP Noel Farrugia, he said that investigations into six of the nine cases of rape had been concluded. Two people had been arraigned in court over two cases; another had been charged with making a false report; and two others had been charged but it had been found that they were not cases of rape but of defilement of minors. Another case had been given up.
