A woman in her late thirties was found dead in a car in Bahar ic-Caghaq this afternoon, but there were no signs of foul play, the police said. The cause of death, however, will be established in an autopsy.

The woman, lawyer Margaret Mifsud, was found on a track off the Coast Road.

 

A thorough search of the area around the car was carried out.

Ms Mifsud, a mother of two, was reported missing last night.

Her former husband, a Libyan man, has been arrested. He had a pending court case about alleged illegal arrest and harassment.
