Parliamentary Committees To Convene To Discuss Murders Against Women

Aug 17 2024

The Nationalist Party recently made a formal request for the Parliamentary Committees on Social Affairs and the Family to convene to discuss improving and strengthening the state’s operations to prevent homicides and other crimes against women.

The meeting was convened following the discovery of Nicolette Ghirxi, who was found stabbed to death in her Swatar apartment in the early hours of Monday morning.

She was murdered by her former partner, Edward Johnston, who was later shot dead by police officers in St. Julian’s after he revealed what turned out to be a replica gun.

This request has been accepted, and the joint Committees will now meet on the upcoming Wednesday, August 21st.

The Nationalist Party stated that they remain committed to working and contributing to ensure that every necessary step is taken to prevent homicides and other crimes against women.
