IL-:URI DWAR OMI?IDJU U TRAFFIKAR TA’ EROINA<br />
Kollox jindika <strong>li</strong> l-vittma<br />
twaddbet il-ba[ar mejta<br />
minn Ray ABDILLA<br />
Minn testijiet <strong>li</strong> saru fuq il-katavru ta’<br />
Therese Agius, kollox jindika <strong>li</strong> din twaddbet<br />
il-ba[ar meta kienet di;à mejta. Minn<br />
testijiet o[ra <strong>li</strong> saru <strong>fl</strong>-Ingilterra rri]ulta<br />
wkoll <strong>li</strong> l-vittma kienet [adet id-droga.<br />
Dan irri]ulta mix-xh<strong>ied</strong>a tat-ta<strong>bi</strong>b espert<br />
imqabbad mill-Qorti Mario Scerri <strong>li</strong><br />
g[amel e]ami medikolega<strong>li</strong> fuq il-katavru<br />
ta’ Therese Agius ta’ 20 sena minn Ra[al<br />
:did. Agius kienet instabet mejta fil-ba[ar<br />
fit-12 ta’ Ottubru tal-1999, 11-il mil u nofs<br />
barra mill-kosta ta’ De<strong>li</strong>mara.<br />
Mario Scerri kien qed jixhed fil-;uri ta’<br />
Joseph Azzopardi ta’ 40 sena minn {al<br />
Tarxien <strong>li</strong> qed ji;i akku]at b’]ew; Kapi ta’<br />

tieg[u Therese Agius, fil-lejl ta’<br />
bejn l-1 u t-2 ta’ Ottubru tal-1999. Hi<br />
kienet instabet minn ra;el <strong>li</strong> nzerta g[addej<br />
<strong>bi</strong>d-dg[ajsa tieg[u.<br />
It-ta<strong>bi</strong>b Mario Scerri qal <strong>li</strong> hu kien<br />
ikkonsulta ma’ diversi esperti medi/i<br />
o[rajn <strong>bi</strong>ex jasal g[all-konklu]joni dwar<br />
kif mietet it-tfajla. Hu qal <strong>li</strong> minn testijiet <strong>li</strong><br />
g[amel il-Professur Ing<strong>li</strong>] Michael<br />
Scottem, [are; <strong>li</strong> t-tfajla kellha pre]enza<br />
ta’ morfina fil-;isem tag[ha, indikazzjoni<br />
<strong>li</strong> kienet [adet jew ing[atat do]a ta’ eroina.<br />
Ix-xhud qal <strong>li</strong> hu probabb<strong>li</strong> <strong>li</strong> Agius<br />
kienet injettata d-droga ftit tal-[in <strong>bi</strong>ss<br />
qabel ma twaddbet il-ba[ar. Jista’ jkun <strong>li</strong><br />
dak <strong>li</strong> ;ara kien kaw]a ta’ impurità jew<br />
inkella purità tal-imsemmija droga. L-ir<strong>bi</strong>t<br />
fuq il-vittma se[[ <strong>fl</strong>-ewwel g[axar sig[at<br />
mill-mewt tag[ha.<br />
Hu qal ukoll <strong>li</strong> l-fattur <strong>li</strong> Therese Agius<br />
instabet b’wi// ta’ skeletru u b’[afna minn<br />
;isimha mtaqqab, hu ri]ultat mhux <strong>bi</strong>ss<br />
g[all-fatt <strong>li</strong> g[amlet g[axart ijiem fil-ba[ar<br />
imma min[abba l-fatt <strong>li</strong> l-[ut kienu kielu<br />
minn ;isimha.<br />
Mario Scerri qal ukoll <strong>li</strong> fis-sena 1999 u<br />
fil-<strong>bi</strong>du tas-sena 2000 f’<strong>Malta</strong> kien hawn<br />
fis-suq [afna droga pura.<br />
Xhud ie[or kien il-Professur Hector<br />
Galea, espert fis-snien, <strong>li</strong> qal <strong>li</strong> skont ilkulur<br />
ta’ snienha t-tfajla kienet ilha <strong>aktar</strong><br />
minn ;img[a mejta. Wara l-Prosekuzzjoni<br />
talbet g[ax-xh<strong>ied</strong>a ta’ Charles Debono,<br />
mag[ruf b[ala ‘Il-Maradona’ jew ‘It-<br />
Tobby’, <strong>li</strong> min-na[a tieg[u talab <strong>li</strong>ll-Qorti<br />
<strong>li</strong> ma xtaqx jixhed <strong>bi</strong>ex ma jinkriminax <strong>li</strong>lu<br />
nnifsu. Il-Qorti a//ettat it-talba tieg[u<br />
skont il-<strong>li</strong>;i.<br />
Xehdu wkoll il-Professur Marie Therese<br />
Camilleri, u Brigitte Ellul, Kap tal-<br />
Patolo;ija <strong>fl</strong>-Università <strong>li</strong> kienu g[amlu l-<br />
awtopsja fuq il-vittma. Dawn qalu <strong>li</strong> kienu<br />
ttie[du kampjuni mill-fw<strong>ied</strong>, k<strong>li</strong>ewi u l-<br />
qalb u qalu wkoll <strong>li</strong> l-[ut kielu [afna minn<br />
;isimha.<br />

Pu<strong>li</strong>zija, Paul Micallef mag[ruf b[ala Il-<br />
Bodybuilder u <strong>li</strong> llum hu mejjet, kien<br />
tenna <strong>li</strong> l-akku]at Joseph Azzopardi kien<br />
“ankra <strong>li</strong>l Therese Agius fil-ba[ar”.<br />
David Sa<strong>li</strong>ba, <strong>li</strong> dak i]-]mien kien<br />
assista <strong>li</strong>s-Supretendent Charles Magri filka],<br />
qal <strong>li</strong> Therese Agius kienet ;iet identifikata<br />
minn o[tha stess meta ttellg[et millba[ar<br />
u tenna <strong>li</strong> dak i]-]mien Agius kienet<br />
l-unika persuna <strong>li</strong> kienet irrappurtata<br />
nieqsa. Ir-rapport dwar in-nuqqas tag[ha<br />
kien sar mill-;enituri tag[ha <strong>fl</strong>-G[assa ta’<br />
Ra[al :did.<br />
Ix-xhud qal <strong>li</strong> minn persuna mitlufa l-ka]<br />
tag[ha beda ji;i trattat b[ala de<strong>li</strong>tt peress <strong>li</strong><br />
l-katavru instab marbut. Tenna <strong>li</strong> kienu<br />
kellmu <strong>li</strong>l Silvio Buttigieg <strong>li</strong> kien g[amel<br />
xi ]mien jo[ro; mal-vittma, i]da dan kien<br />
esklu] wara <strong>aktar</strong> investigazzjonijiet.<br />
Sadattant kien interrogat <strong>aktar</strong> tard<br />
Joseph Azzopardi fejn dan kien qal <strong>li</strong>ll-<br />
Pu<strong>li</strong>zija <strong>li</strong> l-vittma ma kinitx taf tinjetta<br />
ru[ha <strong>bi</strong>d-droga, u kienet tafda <strong>li</strong>l Silvio<br />
Buttigieg, ‘I]-}ingla’ <strong>bi</strong>ex jag[tiha d-<br />
droga. Madankollu qal ix-xhud meta dan<br />
spi//a mix-xena, u kienet qabdet malakku]at,<br />
hi kienet tafda <strong>li</strong>lu <strong>bi</strong>ex jag[tiha<br />
d-droga.<br />
Ix-xhud qal <strong>li</strong> kien Paul Micallef <strong>li</strong> qal <strong>li</strong><br />
l-akku]at kien tefag[ha l-ba[ar. Il-Pu<strong>li</strong>zija<br />
kellhom ukoll informazzjoni <strong>li</strong> kienu raw<br />
il-katavru [iere; b’<strong>li</strong>]ar abjad minn appar-<br />
— L-espert tal-Qorti Mario Scerri<br />
tament fi Triq Testaferrata, raw <strong>li</strong>l<br />
Joseph Azzopardi jg[ab<strong>bi</strong>h u jsuq.<br />
David Sa<strong>li</strong>ba qal <strong>li</strong> kienet saret tfittxija<br />
fid-dar ta’ Azzopardi u hemm instab [abel<br />
tal-istess kulur <strong>li</strong> kienet marbuta l-vittma<br />
meta nstabet il-ba[ar. Madankollu l-[abel<br />
<strong>li</strong> kien instab g[and l-akku]at kien e[xen.<br />
Ix-xhud qal <strong>li</strong> hu kien tkellem ukoll ma’<br />
/ertu Rodney Vella, persuna <strong>li</strong> jabbu]a<br />
mid-droga. Dan darba fost o[rajn kien qed<br />
jie[u kafè fejn id-Detox u kien iltaqa’ malakku]at<br />
u qallu <strong>li</strong> Therese Agius kienet<br />
nieqsa u kien qal <strong>li</strong> Joseph Azzopardi kien<br />
qallu <strong>li</strong> kienet mejta wara <strong>li</strong> spi//at<br />
b’oversdose.<br />
L-Avukat tal-akku]at, Malcolm Mifsud,<br />
oppona min[abba rimarki <strong>li</strong> qed isiru dwar<br />
l-g[aj<strong>bi</strong>en tal-katavru, u dan g[a<strong>li</strong>ex<br />
Joseph Azzopardi tieg[u mhux akku]at fuq<br />
l-g[aj<strong>bi</strong>en tag[ha, u dan jista’ jin<strong>fl</strong>uwenza<br />
<strong>li</strong>ll-;urati. Min-na[a tieg[u l-Avukat<br />
Aaron Bugeja, <strong>li</strong> qed imexxi l-<br />
Prosekuzzjoni, qal <strong>li</strong> l-ewwel Kap talakku]a<br />
tg[id mhux <strong>bi</strong>ss <strong>li</strong> l-vittma nqatlet<br />
imma wkoll <strong>li</strong> ;iet mormija l-ba[ar u<br />
g[alhekk hi prova determinanti g[allewwel<br />
Kap tal-Akku]a. Mill-banda l-o[ra<br />
l-Prosekuzzjoni tirrikonxxi <strong>li</strong> l-akku]at qed<br />
ji;i mix<strong>li</strong> b’]ew; Kapi u se toqg[od ma’<br />
dawn i]-]ew; Kapi. Il-Qorti qalet <strong>li</strong> dan l-<br />
in/ident irid jittie[ed fil-kuntest ta’ kif<br />
se[[ mill-<strong>bi</strong>du sal-a[[ar.<br />
Id-difi]a o;;ezzjonat ukoll <strong>li</strong> titqassam<br />
ix-xh<strong>ied</strong>a ta’ Paul Micallef min[abba <strong>li</strong> ma<br />
jistax isir il-kontro-e]ami fil-konfront<br />
tieg[u min[abba <strong>li</strong> Micallef hu mejjet. Il-<br />
Prosekuzzjoni opponiet g[at-talba taddifi]a<br />
fejn qalet <strong>li</strong> l-prova ta’ persuna <strong>li</strong><br />
tkun ;iet nieqsa tkun trid ti;i prodotta <strong>li</strong>ll-<br />
;urati.<br />
Il-Qorti qalet <strong>li</strong> hi se timxi fuq ]ew;<br />
ka]ijiet o[ra u kienet se tilqa’ t-talba tal-<br />
Prosekuzzjoni <strong>bi</strong>ex ting[ata kopja u tinqara<br />
x-xh<strong>ied</strong>a, <strong>li</strong>ema xh<strong>ied</strong>a g[andha tkun <strong>bi</strong>ss<br />
dik ;uramentata <strong>li</strong> ng[atat quddiem il-<br />
Ma;istrat inkwerenti Joe Cassar.<br />
Dalg[odu mistenni jixhed il-<br />
Kummissarju tal-Pu<strong>li</strong>zija.
