The Criminal Court in Malta has rejected a request by Daniel Muka, an Albanian citizen, to halt his double murder trial in Sliema. The same court had previously denied Muka’s bail request, with Mr. Justice Aaron Bugeja presiding over the case.
Muka is accused of a double murder that took place in Sliema two years ago, and his lawyers, Alfred Abela and Rene Darmanin, had filed the request to stop the trial. However, the court’s decision to move forward with the trial suggests that the prosecution’s case against Muka will proceed. The court’s decrees, as seen in similar cases, are crucial in determining the trajectory of the trial.
