A magistrate issued a warning to migrants today as he started hearing separate cases of quarrels between them.
In the first case, three Somali migrants in their 20s were accused of the attempted murder of another migrant, causing him serious injury, on Saturday-Sunday night. They were also accused of being in possession of a sharp, pointed instrument. They pleaded not guilty and were remanded in custody.
In a separate case, another migrant, Yasin Ibrahim Mahdi, 22, also from Somalia, was remanded in custody after pleading not guilty to the unlawful possession of a knife at Marsa open centre on Monday.
"You are guests in this country. This court is being faced with too many instances of this kind, if you want to fight between yourselves, then go somewhere else," Magistrate Antonio Micallef Trigona told the migrants.
