As in so many brutal cases, the full circumstances will only ever be known by those who committed the deed, and their victim. That said, a body found in the sea, whose hand and feet were bound, surely suggests foul play.

For the family of the victim, and for all of those looking to the Courts for closure, if not justice, surely 12 years is too long to wait for a trial.

What a sad end to this young lady's short life.

I still have the newspaper cuttings of this case, if the guy is the real murderer let justice remember the pain the girl suffered, the hell she was living in and her wish to reform, and may he be served an equal share of that hell. I feel for the parents of this girl, they must have suffered terribly, especially since the case was covered in dept and some gruesome details emerged, but it is important to remember what a hideous crime this was in order to make proper justice. One wonders why it took so long for this trial to begin... an explanation is very much in order here.

Fully agreed with previous comment - what is even worse is when the killer still roams around freely pending his trial and is even allowed to do business and travel abroad - this is happening now with another case.

You are absolutely right, Mr.Camilleri.
But also:
1) why should a marriage separation case take more than ten years?
WHO IS TO BLAME? THEY SHOULD BE SHAMED;

2) why should cases of injustice take so long, especially where the interpretation of wills is concerned?
WHO IS TO BLAME? THEY SHOULD BE SHAMED.

A trial that opens 12 years after the murder was committed is a grave injustice and insult.
