Printing press neighbour becomes news

A man who could not sleep due to a persistent noise coming from next door, a printing press, was given a suspended jail term yesterday after he damaged three cars in an act of revenge. Andrew Spiteri, 61, of Luqa had been putting up with the noise coming from Miller printing press for three years, defence lawyer Toni Abela told the court. He said his client basically had a printing press be-hind his headboard and this was causing him a lot of stress.

Mr Spiteri admitted to causing €3,000 in damage to three cars belonging to printing press employees on February 9 and 15. Magistrate Gabriella Vella handed down an 18-month jail term suspended for four years after taking into consideration the fact that he pleaded guilty at an early stage of the proceedings and pledged to pay for the damage.

Police Inspector Spiridione Zammit prosecuted.
