A 32-year-old man has renounced all criminal action against his former 16-year-old girlfriend’s grandfather and her brother who he had previously accused of attacking him with a sickle.
The two men will now only be charged with minor infractions.
In separate proceedings Josef Grech of Rabat stands charged with defiling the girl.
The case continues.
Franco Debono and Marion Camilleri appeared for the girl’s family members.
