A Libyan man was yesterday remanded in custody after pleading not guilty to raping a woman in Sliema between 1am and 10.30am on Sunday.
Morad Damona, 30, from Tripoli but living in Sliema, denied rape, holding the woman against her will and violently indecently assaulting her.
Magistrate Audrey Demicoli refused bail after considering the seriousness of the crime.
