Is a man prepared to face criminal proceedings for a fix (nicotine)? We all know that a man will do a lot of things that he normaly does not do in order to get a fix.
Would the police leave him without cigarettes ?.....yes.
Would the police let him go hungry for some time ?.....yes.
locked up...hungry...needing a fix, perfect way to break a person....some interogation skills! !!!!!!

While not saying that this man is innocent, I ask if the presumed murderer was left hungry and without cigarettes (ie: without a nicotine fix). That would be torture. What proof is tehre that this is not the case.

Possibli f'Malta l-Pulizija ma tanalizzax il-possibilta ta 'a false confessions' u iggib provi ulterjuri apparti sempliciment 'statement' tal-akkuzat? Barra minn Malta din hija xi haga li ttittiehed bis-serjeta immens. Jekk dak huwa l-kas... Salvatore Mangion ghandu jkun liberat minn kull htija u involviment b'konnessjoni mal-qtil ta' Rosina Zammit. Dan minhabba li f'kazijiet bhal dawn, l-valur tal-'istatement' jigi null bhala prova.

A report such as this makes me wonder why the minister of justice has not put into force the law that stipulates that during interrogation a lawyer should be present. The law does not only protect the alleged criminal but also the police. This article speaks about this: http://malta-exposed.blogspot.com/2010/01/conscience-of-dr-carm.html

However the blog in question makes the wrong assumption that the minister put the law into force completely. However he only gave the possibility of suspects to call a lawyer before the interrogation. A lawyer should be present throughout. This is the standard in all democratic countries.

'Asked by the prosecution whether he was actually prepared to face criminal proceedings just for some cigarettes and chips he replied "yes".'

They must serve some seriously good chips at the Police HQ.

I would like to know where these eggs and chips were purchased - they must be VERY good!
