Meanwhile, Melvin Theuma, the self-confessed middleman, continued his testimony in court. He provided further details about his relationship with Yorgen Fenech and Fenech's alleged role and involvement in the murder.
Separately, Joseph Muscat has reportedly repeated statements asserting his innocence regarding any shadow cast over him in the Caruana Galizia murder. He is said to have mentioned contacting "the Americans" as part of his efforts to clear his name.
