Mario Camilleri SrThe cause of death of drug trafficker Mario Camilleri, known as l-Imnieħru, is mired in a medico-legal argument more than six weeks after he was found partly buried with his son in a Birżebbuġa field.
Follow-up tests on the second post mortem ruled out that the two holes in Mr Camilleri’s skull were the result of any surgical intervention, Police Commissioner Peter Paul Zammit told The Sunday Times of Malta.
“The holes are fresh and they’re not machine-made. The puzzle remains because the bullets haven’t been found,” Mr Zammit said when contacted.
L-Imniehru was found dead alongside his murdered son in a field near Birzebbuga.
While forensic experts are insisting Mr Camilleri Sr died of an “acute coronary thrombosis” that led to a heart attack, the police say they have statements from two men charged with the murders of the 51-year-old and his son – l-Imnieħru’s brother-in-law Jason Galea, and George Galea – that they carried out the killings. However, the men have pleaded not guilty to murder.
