Cikku Fenech, 70, of Mosta was today condemned to a nine-month prison term suspended for three years after he yesterday admitted having fired a firearm in a residential area and being in illegal possession of a firearm.

The case stemmed from a shoot-out seven years ago in a field near Mosta when Mr Fenech claimed he was attacked by John Pace, 43 of Birkirkara.
