The compilation of evidence against drama teacher Erin Tanti, 23, continues this morning.

Mr Tanti is pleading not guilty to the murder of 15-year-old drama student Lisa Marie Zahra on March 19 and assisting her to commit suicide.

The court heard that he told police he did not kill Ms Zahra and that he loved her but planned to end their relationship. Her lifeless body was found on the rocks of Dingli cliffs and he “initially” told rescuers that he had fallen.

At the end of the last sitting on April 28, Magistrate Audrey Demicoli ruled that there was enough evidence for the indictment of Mr Tanti.
