Man linked to Marsa homicide arrested by police

Jul 25 2022

The police have arrested a 28-year-old Sudanese man in relation to a homicide in Marsa on Sunday.

Yesterday evening, at around 6:30pm, the Malta Police Force was informed of an argument between two persons in Triq Feliċjan Bilocca, Marsa. Officials within the Rapid Intervention Unit (RIU) went on site to find an unconscious man lying on the floor with injuries from a sharp object.

The victim, who has yet to be identified, was assisted by a medical team where he was found to have sustained four hits from a knife in his chest and back. He was taken to Mater Dei via ambulance but unfortunately was certified dead moments after.

An RIU operation resulted in the discovery of the Sudanese man in a neighbouring road, where he was found in possession of the knife which was allegedly used in the crime. The alleged aggressor is currently being held in lockup in Police Headquarters in Floriana.

Whilst on an Erasmus programme in Turkey, Jordan wanted to get something which is typically Maltese and the iconic little Twistees chef is definitely a stalwart of Maltese snack culture.

Jordan reportedly wants to get a few more Maltese characters tattooed… Off the top of our head, why not get the Mr. Riley mascot? Or the Lamb Brand lamb…. the possibilities are endless!

What Maltese character would YOU consider getting tattooed?

“I’m not Spiderman”; Eve Borg Bonello addresses fake Tinder profile

Jul 24 2022

Nationalist Party MP Eve Borg Bonello has fallen victim to a fake Tinder profile… under the name ‘Spider-Man’.

The young politician took to social media to clarify that she is not, in fact, the wall-crawling Marvel superhero Spider-Man, jokingly excusing herself with anyone who may have been disappointed by the revelation.

It appears that Borg Bonello took the act lightly but it is imperative to understand the dangerous consequences of fake Tinder profiles. Using others’ image to create a fake profile is illegal, unethical and may carry potentially catastrophic consequences.

Anyone with any information regarding fake profiles is encouraged to contact the authorities at their earliest convenience.

What do you make of this?

From Kapxi to cupcakes; here are some of the highlights from Rossi & Carlo Gerada’s wedding!

Jul 24 2022

Yesterday night, what many have called the Maltese wedding of the century took place as Valentina Rossi and Carlo Gerada finally got hitched in an emotional rollercoaster of a night.

As expected, the beloved Maltese couple pulled out all the stops for their amazing night, with a number of special guest appearances along the way as their friends and family celebrated their lifelong love in the most heart-warming setting; here are some of the highlights!

Rossi’s best friend Luca an flower duty

Whoever attended the ceremony knew that the rest of the night was going to be a treat. At one point, Kevin Paul Calleja’s emotional guitar string symphonies were replaced by The Pussycat Dolls’ ‘Hush Hush; Hush Hush’ as Valentina’s bestie Luca entered the venue, showering everybody in flower petals as the celebrations kicked off.

Special guests Aidan, Fabrizio Faniello & Kurt Calleja

Reminiscent of a main stage Coachella set, the CAVA wedding was jam-packed full of special guest appearances. Following a stellar performance from fellow Malta’s Got Talent cast-mate Gianni Zammit, those in attendance were treated to a slew of local artists. From Maltese vibes galore with Aidan to a nostalgic moment from Fabrizio Faniello and an emotional rendition of ‘Bla Tarf’ from Kurt Calleja, it certainly was one night to remember.

Il-Kapxi

While the local singers and Eurovision favourites on stage were definitely a treat, one of the hilarious-yet-heartwarming highlights of the CAVA wedding was definitely Malta’s very own Kapxi setting off some fireworks to an audience of admirers as Carlo and Valentina celebrated their love. From the very moment Kapxi took the stage, mobiles aplenty came out to capture the moment before the festivities continue to take off.

Carlo DJing at his own wedding

We all saw this coming. You can take the man out of the club but you can never take the club out of the man and the groom himself was a testament to that last night. Looking dapper as ever, Carlo Gerada took a moment from his wedding to get his USBs out and set the soundtrack to the couple’s celebration; he even got a chance to perform his own single ’24/7′ with Aidan.

‘Dare to try’ insect cupcakes

This is what truly caught us off guard. While we were expecting a chicken nugget to make an appearance in some shape or form at some point yesterday, the insect cupcakes set below of glimmering ‘Dare to Try’ sign surely tickled the fancy of many adventurous foodies. Being the sport that she is, Valentina also gave it a whirl as local director Steven Levi Vella shared a moment between the two munching on some form of insect.

Here’s wishing the newlyweds a lifetime of love together; congratulations!
