With a former prison inmate taking to the witness stand at the compilation of evidence of Abner Aquilina, the court heard how the accused planned on harming his ex-girlfriend before he went on to murder Paulina Dembska in January 2022.
The former inmate admitted to feeling tormented for weeks on end after having shared a cell with Aquilina for a month, with the latter reportedly boasting, laughing and joking about what he did to Paulina.
It was revealed on court that Abner would recount the details each time someone new was admitted to the Forensic Unit he was being held in.
The court heard how Abner changed his mind because he feared his ex girlfriend’s father would kill him if he harmed her. Despite never mentioning her by name, Abner then went on, the court heard by the witness, that he targeted “a girl who was feeding cats in Sliema”.
The court also heard, Times of Malta reported, how Abner bothered the inmates playing with his private parts and his intention to kill his lawyer.
