An 18-year-old girl who had absconded police bail and failed to appear in court to face stabbing charges, was re-arrested after the police found that she was communicating with her mother through facebook.

The girl, who cannot be named because she was a minor at the time of the crime, stands accused with two other girls of having stabbed a 15-year-old girl, seriously injuring her.

The three were arraigned last December and one of them then went missing. She was re-arrested in Mosta and taken to court this morning to face charges of breaching bail.
