Vince Farrugia assault case: Injuries could be the result of several issues - expert
Vince Farrugia
Injuries shown on a three-phase bone scan of Vince Farrugia taken 11 days after he was assaulted in March 2010 could be the result of a number of issues including arthritis, coughing and inflammation, a court appointed expert has concluded.
Testifying in the case against Sandro Chetcuti, 38, a former GRTU council member, who is pleading not guilty to the attempted murder of Vince Farrugia, radiologist Malcolm Crockford said that Mr Farrugia's X-Rays did not show fractures and the signs on the three-phase bone scan could not be directly linked to the alleged incident.
Dating these signs, he said, was practically impossible.
Dr Crockford was appointed by the court to examine conflicting reports by two doctors with court appointed forensic pathologist Mario Scerri saying that Mr Farrugia did not suffer any fractures, contradicting consultant radiologist Anthony Samuel.
The case continues.

Mela, il pathologista Mario Scerri jghejd li is Sur Farrugia ma sofra l-ebda ksur....il consulent radiologista Anthony Samuel jghejd li is Sur Farrugia sofra min ksur. Issa, nemmen li dawn iz zewg sinjuri huma proffesjonisti f`xogholhom, pero wiehed minnhom ghamel zball, apposta ?,jew mhux apposta ?.......il mistoqsija hija semplici...Min minhom qeghed jinganna ? Lil min minnhom ser temmen il qorti ? Tinten il bicca sur Farrugia, Joe of the street is thinking that there was some kind of foul play..........

Vince Farrugia should draw a line under this incident and get on with his very 'interesting' life.

So M Cassar, If I come into your place of work and give you a beating, would you just draw a line under it?
