“Demonic” son-in-law allegedly ordered daughter to rape her mum with broomstick

Jan 11 2023

Man who stands accused of sexually assaulting his mother-in-law while tormenting the family in 2019 when he was 18 years old, is pleading not guilty to very serious accusations. Allegedly, the now 22-year-old, raped the mother, and forced her to perform sexual activities with her daughter whilst holding them hostage inside their own home. This trial began in Maltese Courts this Monday, without a panel of jurors, at the defence’s request.

In a statement given to police, the accused said that the devil’s voice wasn’t his and that it did not always speak in Maltese. The voice used to tell him to clean the garden. Once, “the voice” directed his sister-in-law to bring a broom and insert it into her mother. When he heard the voice, the accused claimed to be scared. His own mother had told him to leave that house with “the voice” because she heard rumours about his girlfriend and her mother.

Girlfriend’s Testimony: She was 14-years-old when she started dating the accused. In her testimony, the girlfriend explained that the “demon” behaviour started after the family watched ‘The Nun’ in a cinema. In court, she claims that together with her mum and sister, she was forced to drink whisky until vomiting, undress clean up. Allegedly, the accused had ordered her and her sister to shower together, cut her mother with a knife and whipped her until she was visibly hurt. She claims he treated her poorly and demanded rough sex.

Sister-in-law’s Testimony: Testifying in court, she claimed to have been unable to leave the household, since the front door was locked and keys were missing. Allegedly, she and her mother were ordered to perform sexual acts on each other. According to the sister-in-law, they were also ordered to lie naked, before being showered in cold water and left in-front of a fan.

Mother-in-law’s Testimony: Claims to have been forced to cook for the accused, and beaten with a whip. Her eldest daughter was ordered to sexually assault her with a broomstick.

The name of the man and the victims can’t be named since court issued a media publishing ban.

Prince Harry’s memoir ‘Spare’ fastest selling non-fiction book ever

Jan 11 2023

The recently published autobiography by Prince Harry just became the fastest selling non-fiction book ever.

It recorded 400,000 copies as of time of writing across hardback, ebook and audio formats on its very first day of publication.

Managing director of Transworld Penguin Random House said that despite expecting the book to fly off shelves, the rate at which it is actually doing so is exceeding all executions.

‘As far as we know, the only books to have sold more in their first day are those the other Harry (Potter)’ he said. It was reported how queues of fans formed before shops opened at 12am Tuesday morning for the official release.

The memoir was controversial before it officially hit shelves, with a leak of revelations informing readers of various inner conflicts from within the royal family.

The 550 plus pages of the book include Harry’s experience with drugs, this time in the military as well as interior rifts between him and his siblings and extended family.

Jan 11 2023

In the coming months, Malta will be officially joining the Camino de Santiago de Compostela trail. The Maltese route was announced by Culture Minister Owen Bonnici and Foreign Affairs Minister Ian Borg during a public information session at Fort St Angelo.

The Maltese route will take pilgrims from Rabat through various localities before ending in Vittoriosa. The pilgrims will continue their journey with a ferry to Sicily and continue the route to Palermo, catching another ferry to Cagliari.

Around 400,000 people engage in the pilgrimage, with 300 of them being Maltese. The Camino Maltes is around 3,600km and will connect the island to a much larger route.

Culture Minister Owen Bonnici said that through the work of Heritage Malta something like this could be possible. On his part, Minister Ian Borg praised the work done by the Maltese embassy in Spain along with the NGO Xircammini.

Through a number of diplomatic meetings, an agreement whereby Malta is included in the pilgrimage was reached.
