Two people, a man and a woman, were found dead in separate but connected incidents early Monday morning, as reported by a police spokesperson to the Times of Malta.
The spokesperson stated that the exact details of both cases are still under investigation.
Preliminary information suggests that the woman was killed around 2 a.m. in her apartment located on Triq Maestro Giuseppe Busuttil in Swatar, Birkirkara. The suspect, identified as an Irish national, was later shot by police near the Hilton Hotel in Paceville.
Sources familiar with the case revealed that while there had been no prior reports of violence between the two, the woman had previously lodged a harassment complaint against the suspect after he sent her several emails following their breakup.
It was also noted that there were no signs of forced entry at her residence.
A police press conference is expected later on Monday morning to provide further details on the incidents.
