I refer to Alfred Gauci’s letter “Resurrecting the past” (December 6) wherein the following was stated: “The biggest lesson that should have been learnt from the incidents in Tal-Barrani Road 30 years ago: leaders of political parties should keep supporters away from where trouble is brewing. If the then leader of the Opposition Eddie Fenech Adami planned the day’s meeting somewhere else instead of at Żejtun, the incidents would have been avoided...”

When referring to the Tal-Barrani incidents, which happened on November 30, 1986, the correspondent should have stated that had former Malta Police Commissioner Lawrence Pullicino and then Prime Minister Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici stood up for constitutional rights and in favour of law and order, in all probability, Raymond Caruana would not have been murdered on December 5, 1986.
