Mar 7 2021 Share

Today would have been Hugo Chetcuti’s 55th birthday, the entrepreneur owner of various eatery establishments but also a beloved family man. Chetcuti was stabbed on 7th July 2018 by a Serbian man, after having invited some relatives and managers to sample the menu of a new seafood restaurant he was opening.

Luke Chetcuti, Hugo’s son, took to social media to commemorate his late father’s memory, calling him his hero. All Hugo’s establishments also commemorated the pioneer’s memory and his many achievements. Lawyers are still waiting for jury trial in regards to Hugo’s murder as COVID-19 delays further proceedings.
