Police arrest Qormi stabbing suspect - Investigators return to Mgarr house - Rabat shooting arraignment expected
Updated Friday 8.45 a.m.
The police have arrested a man who is suspected to have repeatedly stabbed and grievously injured an MMDNA nurse in Qormi yesterday afternoon.
The man was traced to a farm in Qormi this morning after an intensive search overnight. He is believed to have been involved in another previous stabbing case and was taken to court two years ago.
The 44-year-old nurse was yesterday stabbed several times after an argument with the man at Ta' Farsina, behind the Kia showroom at about 6 p.m.
An 18-year-old woman who was waiting for her in an MMDNA car was unharmed and called for help as the assailant escaped on foot.
Blood could be seen on the ground as well as on the back of the MMDNA car.
The nurse, 44, was still conscious as she was rushed to hospital where she was operated.
INVESTIGATIONS INTO MGARR CASE CONTINUE
Meanwhile, police forensic experts on Thursday evening returned to the house in Mgarr where a Moroccan mother-of-two died from a head wound two days ago. They still have to establish whether the woman injured herself in an accidental fall, or whether she was murdered.
The experts' return to the house follows an autopsy which was held today. The woman is believed to have had more than one blow.
Police officers are understood to have interviewed her husband and other people in connection with the case.
RABAT SHOOTING
Meanwhile Carmelo Cutajar, a long serving police officer, was expected to be taken to court today (Friday) accused of the attempted murder of his wife after allegedly shooting at her in Rabat on Wednesday afternoon. He gave himself up after attempting to shoot himself.
However sources said the arraignment may be put off because he is still receiving hospital treatment.

The answer is that we (and all Europe) are giving too much human rights to criminals and none to victims.
It is right time that the Eurupean penal code is revised, punishment becoming more severe and the forces of order given more power to use force on these criminal untouchables.
Whatever 'airmchair' human rights dreamers say, it is high time that the death penalty is re introduced and APPLIED as a deterrent. It is also high time for a proper prison reform, as surely the 'corrective and gloved hand' treatment had failed. Prison must be turned into a harsh place, hard labour re introduced thus anyone who enters there will be afraid to re enter.
Countries with hard prison systems, that we enlightened Eurupeans call 'unhumaine' like Turkey, have a much lower crime rate, and criminals are afraid of the heavily armed police force!
It is really hurting that the local police force are called 'boy scouts'!

All such incidents should be condemned. But I wonder whether all Maltese men are going mad or else the recent statement by Dr Josie Muscat should be looked at in more depth.

If people are being affected by what that man said we shouldn't be looking into what he said but how these minds are so simple that a simple statement (be it true or false) made them attack another human being.

Law and order is worsening in Malta. Even building illegally is commom practice. This kind of thing is unheard of in other european countries. There is absolutely no law enforcement in Malta and its giving Malta a bad reputation in Europe!

MEPA is useless at enforcing the law. I have a resident above me building a second floor illegally on top of his penthouse and MEPA did NOTHING. They just sent him a silly letter which he confronted me about! MEPA is just a silly political scam organised by the government. They are only powerful enough to pull down poor peoples boat houses. When somebody builds another level on top of a block of flats NOTHING is done and its extremely dangerous. What is MEPA waiting for? A whole block of flats to collapse and kill several people!!!!!!

The laws are there, but they are not being enforced, especially when Maltese nationals are concerned. Foreigners get stiffer sentences because they have no local 'sugar-daddies' to help them. More often than not the police make serious attempts to apprehend perpatrators and succeed....but when they appear in court & are charged, most of them get suspended sentences for the flimsiest of excuses. When this happens the police are surely frustrtated, seeing all their good work going down the drain. To add insult to injury, we've even had 'important' people stating on local TV that crime has dimished in these last years.....don't make me laugh!

The crime rate is getting lower because for the majority of the time its not worth reporting a crime in the first place. The police take ages to take action and when they do, you end up in court for years to end up with a ridiculous sentence. No wonder why petty crimes and disruption of public peace (dog barking, road rage, violence etc) are on the increase.

Sep 28th 2012, 10:10
Whatever the problems leading to this situation, I strongly believe that we have reached the point where something needs to be done urgently. It is unacceptable that more people are resorting to bodily harm in an argument. Clearly the punishment meted out in such circumstances (and others, for that matter) no longer fits the crime and people are perceiving it worth their while to resort to such acts. Urgent action please.
Bernard Manduca
Sep 28th 2012, 10:09
Weird that these cases happened in a cluster. I don't, however, believe that our eutopia is necessarly falling apart. In incidents such as these the perpetrators and victims seem well acquainted - with issues they can't seem to resolve. There are exceptions and heat of the moment incidents of course but, generally, strangers and bystanders are not drawn in.
Improvements in police response to complaints would help; as would some uniformity in court sentences delivered in timely manner.

In my humble opinion the problem seems to be twofold - primarily an educational system that produces a well educated majority, and an illiterate or semi-literate underclass incapable of finding anything but the most basic work at derisory wage levels. They see an affluent society they cannot take part in, and the result is jealousy, anger and violence.
The second, nearly equally important factor is the penal system. We have Corradino overleaded with drug-related offences leaving no room for the real dangers to society - the "Marsascala-type" thugs who offend with no real fear of retribution, and laws apparently last revised in the middle ages with derisory punishments, laughable fines, and conditional discharges for habitual violent offenders. Will the next government of whatever colour risk losing votes by bringing our laws up to date?

The problem here is that nowadays in malta a person can nearly get away with everything. Dogs are left on roofs night and day, people can punch policemen and get away with suspended sentences and theres a 101 of mental disorders to justify bad behavior from kids. Such environmment make people think that they can get away with everything and that the only way to win is to act as judge and jury themselves. No wonder alcohol/drugs abuse and road rage is on the rise.
Its time to act tough from the very beginning and stop tolerating petty crimes. This was the formula used to reduce crime in new york. This link will give you more info about it

Whilst I do agree that yes, in this day news travels faster and is more accessible therefore giving us the impression that things are going way down fast...we also must admit that there is another side to the coin, and we should pull off our blinkers (helloooo, judiciary system) and admit that things are in fact going down.
You can see it everywhere, in people's eyes, in their actions... you can actually feel the pressure most people have on themselves.
Everybody is so short tempered and ready to burst into a rage at any given second.
Life has become so stressful, jobs have become more demanding, relationships hang on a thread, kids are brought up by schools and nannies, purchasing power of our meagre wages diminishes by the day... and we are only able to have fun and smile while at some event...intoxicated.
Something is definitely wrong... the apple looks oh so shiny but it's got rot and worms inside.

in one of these cases it was a knife that was used, so abolish all knives, the other a small pistol, so abolish all guns including those in the hands of the police and the army (the person was a long serving police officer). Then abolish all pieces of wood longer than 20 cm and weighing more than 200grms ( they can be used as clubs), same goes for iron bars. one can also think of abolishig cars and motorcycles, they can be used to kill someone.
We should also have a law thta hands have to be surgically removed at the time of birth, so that no strangling or poisoning can occur.
Finally, we should also amputate legs, as these could be used to kick smeone to death!

Everyone thinking that modern age is making the country less safe is thinking wrong, the only difference between 2000-2012 and lets say 1950-1995 or so is that we have the Internet and better journalism and an increasing population, which means more people more crime. No more no less.

E Schembri
Sep 28th 2012, 09:31
It is not modern age that is making the country less safe, but the lack of enforcement and harsh penalties with our outdated laws.
As I said several times in other posts, our current court/justice system glorifies criminals and punishes victims, thus resulting in the more people taking the law in their hands.
Until the law severely punishes criminals we can expect to see more wild west style aggression.
Mr Jamie Frendo
Sep 28th 2012, 11:37
I have to agree with you on this one, crime has always happened but just never was covered in such a way, however what no one knows about no one worries about as was in the old days! We also need to see a stricter penal system and people that are 100% guilty should be made to pay for the crimes they commit, eye for an eye!

Sep 28th 2012, 07:51
Incidents like these are the thin end of an inevitable wedge.
We have a court system that often beggars belief with their paltry sentencing.
We accept the farce of illegal immigrants and finance their upkeep,
We are a society which accepts our children can play computer games depicting extreme and un natural violence.
We accept our children are exposed every form of deviant sexual act imaginable via the internet.
What as a society do we expect? What road is Malta on ?
As an island nation we have better opportunities than other countries to have some control of our destiny
Just give us a government that will do something other than talk.
Parents start with your children, put them to bed on time without their computers. Get them up in the morning and make the effort to be proper parents
Judges, do what you are supposed to do and punish crime effectively
Government , stop with the personal agendas and corruption.
Start by removing the idiots who allowed the bendy buses anywhere near this island.( had to say that)
Absolutely hammer Paceville and the disgraceful behaviours of public urination, drunkeness, fighting, littering, open prostitution , underage drinking etc etc etc
We read these stories every week .The reality is ,
Nothing changes until something changes .
Unfortunately the reality is something is changing and unfortunately it is changing.... for the worse, every day.

I agree with your reasoning, and I would add that Malta needs to revamp/modernise and add to the schools curriculum to bring it up to date with the modern world of technology (internet, motor traffic, computers, social networking, drugs, violence), and to instill the correct values in the students.

The truth is that many are getting away from the church, from God, and our moral values. Many argue that we are in 2012, and God and the church are medieval. So we introduce divorce, discuss about abortion, and other so called 'rights',....so that we become like 'other' modern countries! Well, it seems that losing these values is actually TAKING US to the medieval times. We are reaping the result of our effort to become 'modern', copying other 'modern' countries. May God help us!

I agree 100%. With moral values in place of every person everybody will use the mobile, facebook, twitter, internet browsing etc. in an open way to your family without the need to hide from your parents, husband, wife, kids. It is good to use facebook for example with your relatives abroad and maybe close dear friends but not with other people, so called friends, friends of friends, etc. etc. people that you have not even met etc. etc.
Rocco Camilleri
Sep 27th 2012, 21:41
Hundred percent correct Mr.Grima. The modern word has put 'God' aside feeling that it can go without him., but it is resulting otherwise. We are in a position of children who wants to teach their parents / adults, daylight making them as nights by the teenagers being out for long time in the evenings and then sleep during daytime, girls sleeps with their boys in their parents home as being married with the excuse of getting know each other before marriage ( if they do so). Parents taking care of babies/children born out of marriage ans so on and so forth. Sometimes I feel that we are giving more interest to the animals than the human beings. We are dressing the animals and undressing ourselves. All this came due to no moral values and more rights than duties given to children apart from the Prayers which gone by the wind. One may argue that nowadays we are being fed by more knews but I would say that Malta being so small the news is easily delivered from one point to another that is this is not an excuse for all these fatal injuries / killing apart from the other wrong doings. We must stop and contemplate before it becomes more worse. I can't imagine how the next generation is going to be.
Joseph Borg
Sep 27th 2012, 21:48
Does anyone need to go to church to have moral values? Absolutely no. Remember Cain killed his brother Abel. So killing was from the begining of human kind. It all depends on how one is brought through his childhood and be able to keep his moral values by showing love and respect to others. If everyone love his neighbour as he loves himself then we are not living in this world full of hatred and corruption. Then we do not know killing anymore.
Robert Agius
Sep 27th 2012, 22:05
Oh! so let us blame it on divorce then. Speaking of medieval, why not tell us about the nice forms of torture they had back then. Maybe we lost our values because thanks to the institution you seem to love, made people at large incapable of think for themselves or of taking responsibility for their own actions. Actually, you know what, I point my fingers at religious institutions.
Francis Grech
Sep 27th 2012, 22:23
Joe why jump to the conclusion that what is happening in Malta is because people are staying away from the church and there fore from God as well what is happening in Malta is because we joined the EU and we have to allow every Tom Dick and Harry into the country with knowing who they are as stipulated by Brussell Divorce and abortion which we don't have have nothing to do to what happened this unfortunate women so don' mix as the Maltese say (Hass mal-B--s.

About crimes happening in a short period of time, I remember in 1972, just after the 1971 elections, the country was passing through a somewhat heavy and tense atmosphere and that year eleven homicides were reported. So I believe the psychological state of nation, whether political or moral, has a bearing on homicidal criminal activity.

No its not the laws. At that moment the aggressor doesn't weigh his choice of getting life time in prison or even if he lives anymore. Some shoot themselves.
The problem is something is wrong in this society. There is a something that is in the form of either pressure, family problems, social problems, etc. I do not know what it is but the solution cannot be in a form of deterrent, (such as harsher laws) as it does not matter at the point of aggression, but it has to be in a form of a social happiness tool, a feel good factor, a pride in something national, a relaxation of burdens for families near poverty.
Charles Grixti
Sep 27th 2012, 23:24
@T. Mifsud
You are right, there is something going wrong with society. The economic model we have adopted is causing an untold stresses and pressures and the country is sliding into a two-tier system of the haves and the have-nots. Unfortunately, the big banks and international cartels, with the support of governments are forcing countries to adopt this system which is creating havoc everywhere and Malta is no exception - see the suffering tthat he people of Greece and now Spain have been going through. "Lanqas Alla ma jrid" - More so when one realises that the supposed debt of these nations was created out of thin air and exists only in the ethernet yet this is being translated into real commodities when nations have to sell their resources, labour, state property and real estate to satisfy these vultures, in the process draining the lifeblood from families, pensioners and young people. It is a well known fact that the greater the inequality in the distribution of wealth, the hight the crime rates, and that is why they build huge mega-prisons.

Jekk se' niziraw il-hazin, hazin se' nsibu l-quddiem. Donnu qed neqilbu kollox, 'IT-Tajjeb qed nghamluh HAZIN u l-HAZIN nghamluh TAJJEB. Dan bhal meta wiehed tant jixrob li jibda jghidlek li mhu qed jghamillhu xejn. Imma ma' jafx li dan hu rizultat li l-fwied spiccalu ghax harqu.

Get used to it. It's bound to get worse, worldwide, at this rate.

Is-societa tal-lum diehla fi sqaq ikrah hafna......
Hemm bzonn li nergaw nibdew nidjalogaw bejniethna u nuzaw inqas il-mobile, il facebook, twitter etc .
Il familja ghandha bzonn li terga inghaqad flimkien u tghaddi hin tiddiskuti l-problemi li jiffacjaw kull membru kulljum.
Il genituri ghandhom bzonn iqattaw izjed hin ma' uliedhom, jilghabu maghhom ftit kulljum u johorgu flimkien bhala familja. Jekk nibqaw kullhadd ghall rasu minn eta zghira, ser nitilfu d-dinjita taghna bhala bnedmin.

Very simple, No law and order anymore. "We are Maltese and we do as we please." That is what Malta has become.

@ Pauline Borg,
With all due respect, although i agree that technology leads a far too important role in modern socialization doubt it has anything to do with this particular case, the suspect is supposed to be in his 40's so I cannot under stand how facebook etc may be to blame for this man's actions. the problem is much deeper coming from generations of 'uwijja m'hux xorta' attitude us Maltese seem to suffer from.
and its not the laws that are the problem, the punishments are there! its frightened magistrates, scared that someone might scratch their car at night!
