Bail was denied for a man who reportedly threatened to throw acid at his estranged wife after she accused him of having an affair with his secretary.
A 39-year-old truck driver from Ħaż-Żebbuġ was remanded in custody after threatening and harassing his estranged ex-partner as well as breaking bail conditions.
The man was also charged with stalking the woman, misusing electronic telecommunications equipment and recidivism.
According to TVM, the accused allegedly threatened to make the victim’s life hell and that he would disfigure her face with acid in a bid to keep her away from attending her daughter’s first communion.
MaltaToday reported how the police had immediately issued a warrant for the man’s arrest but they were unable to track him down. The defendant was arrested on Saturday.
The man admitted during his interrogation that he sent some messages to the victim but insisted that the messages were sent in the heat of the moment and that he never raised a hand on her.
Pleading not guilty and with defence lawyer Jason Grima requesting bail, the protection objected as they told the court that he had threatened to shoot the woman. The court was not convinced that the man would abide by his bail conditions and ordered him to be remanded in custody.

Ok maybe don’t tag your boss for this one. Office staff are being advised to seriously consider improving workplace hygiene after scientists found an influx of bacteria when examining communal kitchen items.
Scientists from the UK found evidence of bugs which are typically spread through faeces on items like fridge door handles, coffee machines, microwave buttons and even kettles.
A microbiologist from Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and chief researcher of the campaign named Dr Adam Roberts said that results predict that staff are not washing their hands thoroughly, or at all, after using the bathroom.
Dr Roberts and his team took swabs from shared kitchen areas in office spaces and construction worker break rooms and found various types of bacteria.
These included E.coli – a common bacteria known to cause gastro-intestinal illnesses -, pseudomonas – linked to respiratory infections -, and Klebsiella – which can lead to pneumonia.
The best way to combat this, the researchers said, is to practice good hygiene as much as possible. With fridge door handles being some of the most impacted areas, workers were encouraged to wash their hands often and clean after using the kitchen.

Earlier today, a photo of the PBS headquarters plastered with Labour media branding began to make the rounds of social media, with the Nationalist Party and various other local figures addressing the situation.

In a statement, the Nationalist Party stated that “PBS and Labour media have become one. PBS has become Super One 2.” PN spokespersons Graham Bencini and Michael Piccinino stated that PBS is censoring the PN and that is why the party will continue to insist that responsibility is claimed and action is taken against whoever took the decision to restrain the Nationalist Party.
The spokespersons went on to say that public funds must be used to benefit the public and “not just Robert Abela’s government.”
The is not the first local episode that addressed the state of controversial politics and media, with a string of constitutional court deliberations and Appeals Court confirmation finding that the Public Broadcasting Service breached the PN’s right in an impartiality case.
