One man, many names

"It isn’t out of the norm for a migrant to be known by multiple names,” Dr Grech said."

Glad to see that the same modus operandi is world-wide.

The many names syndrome is very common with these type of immigrants. My friend works in a large city abroad who handles many 'immigrant' cases and the staff have a very hard time keeping track of who is who and related to whom. To make matters worse, the children of certain groups do not have the last names of either their father or their mother and the have only about 4 first names, that come up all the time. To question or ask for clarification is 'racists', so anyone who needs their job just lets it go. These people must think we are idiots in the West. Oh how they must laugh at us behind our backs. Can't think of how many welfare cheques go out to the same persons under their different aliases.

Arent people arriving irregularly in Malta finger-printed?
Finger prints are a lot more reliable in identifying a person then pohotographs of what Tom, Dick or Harry may chose to say on the issue..

This shows that illegal immigrants lie to the authorities to remain in the country. If he lied about his name, how much did he lie about his persecution in his country.

How many illegal immigrants or other immigrants granted asylum in Malta are wondering round with false names?

What happened to the "sive" or "aka" (also known as) on charge sheets? This used to be the procedure to apply when a person is known by a different name or nickname. It's easy and safe.

In addition to this, it won't be a problem for the prosecution to amend the charge sheet any time in the future: there is no fear that a murder case is going to be barred by prescription.

FB is right all the way, the the Judicial system needs drastic review.
Should we dismiss Jesus too?
Have a look at the many Names Of Jesus Christ Through Out The Bible From A - Z and draw your own conclusion!

Not a mistake in the charge sheet again. This farce is going too far, 3rd high profile case and who knows how many others. There is only one corpse, it's him. Full stop.

The issue is that we are not even sure of these people's names. How can we know their history, their country or region of origin and what they may have done or not done?

Why don't the Authorities ask the mother of Mr. Kamara's child for his passport? That should clear up the matter concerning his name.

People, even in Malta, often have nicknames but ultimately, it is the birth certificate that shows the name given at birth. In Malta, issue of birth certificates and passports when one needs to travel is the usual procedure. Maybe they do things differently in Mali, etc. etc. etc. This is what is meant by 'alien cultures'. And nothing racist in saying that. Just different. If it works for them, that is their business. But integration with 'alien cultures', that is a different matter altogether. People are wired to look askance at people who are too diverse to them and this is a fact. Period!

Nicknames are common everywhere, but there are instances where multiple names are meant to confuse others, so there is an agenda. It could also indicate loss of, or confusion about, one's identity. Mental illness and being on the run from the Authorities also contribute greatly to distorted thinking and behaviour. Often with tragic outcomes.

Violence is never justified but restraining an individual who is wanted is reasonable and to be expected. The more the escapee resists his capture the greater the risk of matters getting horribly out of hand and sometimes, with tragic results as in this case.

off course these people should be fingureprinted and they should be checked with all availble databases.Apart they dont have identity or history, they dont even give their proper name,how on earth they can verify their origion and be sent back. Of course they be aggressive with our law,police or soldier, a person escaping is able to do anything not to get cauth. And after 18month they are free of detention.

Ghalkemm ma naqbilx ma swat... dawn in nies qed jahbu l identita taghhom ghax kieku haqqhom joghqodu hawn jigu b wicchom minn quddiem u mhuxx elf isem...... Skuzawni imma jien nehodhom lura minn fejn gew.

The only reason to have several names is to hide your true identity for criminal purposes or to avoid debts or prosecution etc.

This guy obviously was not as 'pure as the driven snow' in my view.

Yes, I quite agree; one man many names and many men many names and different identities too. How on earth can we believe they are telling the truth about their identities and nationality once they force their way to our shores?
