The magisterial inquiry into the death of Jean Paul Sofia has been concluded by Magistrate Marse-Ann Farrugia, with the findings reportedly being delivered to the Attorney General today.

This comes eight months after Sofia was killed in a construction site collapse at the Corradino Industrial Estate in Paola. It also comes two days after thousands took to Castille Square in Valletta to show support towards Sofia’s grieving mother Isabelle Bonnici as she continued her cry for justice for her son.

Hours before the vigil, Prime Minister Robert Abela took a major U-Turn on the case, announcing that a public inquiry into the death would be set up.

Meanwhile, Jason Azzopardi took to Facebook on Friday to state the following: “I can confirm that this morning’s inquiry was concluded and was given to the Attorney General. Now you know that whoever said she asked for a 60-day extension was lying. Now you know who was telling the truth and who lied.”
