Two women, aged 41 and 52, have been charged with the involuntary homicide of Corradino Correctional Facility inmate Kim Borg Nicolas Virtu.
The two pleaded not guilty and were charged after the magisterial inquiry, only hours after another Corradino inmate committed suicide and director Alex Dalli voluntarily suspended himself from his position.
Borg Nicolas Virtu was found in her cell, unconscious, on June 16, dying three weeks later despite the prison’s claims that she was not suicidal. The claims have since been dismissed by the victim’s father, telling Times of Malta that his daughter had been “pushed to the bring” after the prison employees “broke her to pieces and shredded her to bits.”
The two women could receive up to four years in prison and the victim’s father looks to file a constitutional case against the state and director.
The next sitting is set for January 13.
