Nizar al Gadi, 34, the former partner of lawyer Margaret Mifsud, was jailed for four months today after being convicted of threatening police officers following his arraignment to face murder charges.

The incident happened in the afternoon of July 28 after al Gadi was accused of murdering Dr Mifsud in Bahar ic-Caghaq.

Police Inspector Keith Arnoud said the accused was in a police car being escorted to prison when he started insulting him and making obscene gestures. He  then threatened him, saying he had family in Libya who would track him down and harm him. 

Magistrate Antonio Micallef Trigona jailed the accused for four months.
