28-year-old Ivorian Kaba Konate, who lives in Marsascala, was yesterday granted bail but placed under house arrest against a personal guarantee of €4,000 after pleading not guilty to threatening the police.
The court heard that father of three Mr Konate, who is married to a Maltese and has been living in Malta since 1998, was involved in traffic accident when drunk last Tuesday.
He smashed into another person’s car and got aggressive with the driver and the passenger. They called the police who went on site and Mr Konate was aggressive with them and told them “I will kill you, I will kill you”.
Police Inspector Jesmond Borg said Mr Konate also ripped up his cell while under case arrest.
