Live: How police tracked down soldiers charged with migrant murder
Evidence against two soldiers charged with the racially-motivated murder of a man is expected to be detailed in court on Friday morning.
Francesco Fenech, 21, and Lorin Scicluna, 22, stand accused of having killed Lassana Cisse in a drive-by shooting in Birżebbuġa last April. They deny the charges of what is believed to be Malta's first racially-motivated murder.
9.34am: The injured migrants had moved to Malta from Italy work. On the fateful night they had gone to watch a Spanish league match in Birżebbuġa and were on their way home. They told police they did not know the victim.
"Suddenly a car drove by, slowed down. They heard two shots, then another two. One of them said it was a small white car. The shots came from driver’s side," Inspector Arnaud tells the court.
"They believed Malta to be a safe place. That’s what made them come to Malta."
9.30am: It was an Ecabs driver and a female driver who had spotted the bodies and called for help. Migrants immediately informed the police of the drive-by shooting.
The police started inspecting CCTV cameras to better reconstruct the incident.
