Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi said this morning that he was shocked how some people reacted as if nothing had happened when Sudanese migrant Osama Al Shzliaoy was murdered in Paceville yesterday week.

Malta, he said, could not tolerate a situation where anyone minding his own business ended up being killed and certainly this country could not tolerate racism.

Even if the latest crime was committed by foreigners, Malta could not tolerate such goings on, he said. The Maltese people should unite against racism and not accept racism in Paceville or anywhere else.
