Jurors in the trial of David Zerafa are in Marsalforn this morning for the onsite inquiry of the murder of lawyer Michael Grech nine years ago.

Mr Zerafa, 39, of Nadur, is pleading not guilty to murdering Dr Grech, 46.

Dr Grech had been shot in the neck and his cranium was smashed in with a baseball bat outside his garage in Marsalforn in May 2004. He died from a blow to his head which caused massive fractures to his skull.

His wife Maria yesterday testified how she had found her husband covered in blood on the floor by following a blood trail.

After Marsalforn, the jurors were taken to Ramla Bay, behind a small restaurant where the jurors were shown a room in the middle of a field where the accused and his accomplice allegedly changed and got rid of the boiler suits were wearing when the murder was committed.

The inquiry raised quite a stir among bathers who watched the proceedings and asked what was happening.
