The high-profile murder trial of Yorgen Fenech saw a significant development as star witness Melvin Theuma faced cross-examination by the defense, leading to conflicting accounts for the jurors. This new phase in the trial continues to dominate national headlines.
In other key developments, the government, led by Prime Minister Robert Abela, published new legislation to implement Family Court reforms. Additionally, President Myriam Spiteri Debono’s administration announced an expansion of free insulin pump supplies for children and young people.
The country also grappled with multiple fatal incidents, including a driver's death in a Qormi road crash and a diver's fatal incident in St. Paul's Bay, which investigators believe may have been linked to a large tuna.
