In remembrance of Paulina Dembska, the Polish woman tragically murdered in Sliema on the 2nd of January of 2022, a collar with her name engraved has been placed on the notorious cat statue in the Independence Garden on the 3rd anniversary of her death.
Dembska, a dedicated cat feeder, was found murdered near the spot where she cared for strays, three years ago today. Her murder sparked a national outcry and led to the introduction of femicide in Malta’s criminal code.
The gesture, shared by artist Matthew Pandolfino, honours her love for animals and her tragic death.
The case remains in court, and the memorials nearby continue to honour her legacy.
Rest in peace Paulina.
