Paceville stabbing victim was guilty of two homicides and theft of €100,000

Dec 6 2022

The police have apprehended the three men which are thought to be directly involved in the fatal stabbing of 44-year-old Joseph Rivas on Monday afternoon.

The Romanian-born victim had a double-citizenship, English and Romanian, and died after being stabbed in broad daylight in Ross Street, Paceville on Monday.

A number of Romanian news article show that Rivas had a turbulent past and multiple brushes with the law in the past. Described as a ‘particularly dangerous criminal’ by Romanian media, Rivas was involved in a manslaughter case in London back in 2008. That same year, Rivas was also involved in an argument with a bouncer in Romania, with the bouncer dying two years after being beaten.

In 2015, Rivas and five other men were arrested by Romanian police, accused with robbing €100,000 from a home in the town of Năvodari and torturing the owner and his friend.

Rivas’ autopsy will be carried out this afternoon.
