Racist comment sparks off Labour Party club brawl

Man who intervened to diffuse argument charged with attempted murder

The spark that caused the argument which resulted in a stabbing incident inside the Labour Party Club in Qormi on November 6 was a racist remark intended to insult the wife of one of the patrons, a court heard today as the compilation of evidence got underway.

The man charged with the attempted murder of Alfred Felice is Alfred Galea, a 46-year-old baker from Qormi who allegedly intervened to diffuse the argument which arose between the victim and a third party, only to end up facing criminal proceedings.

Taking the witness stand, the victim testified that he had been drinking at the club on that Sunday afternoon when his wife Sawsen joined him and began to dance. At one point, another patron, Joseph Muscat, went up to the woman and asked her whether she was a Muslim. When the woman answered in the affirmative, Mr Muscat remarked that her God was different from the Christian God, whilst commenting that she ought to wear a veil.

Trouble in my beloved Malta.It appears very unnecessary when people don`t behave, always spirals gets worse, here in my version of Paradise often witness all people enjoying each others presence.

Also with being a holiday and tourist venue,people got to get on together.

The Law system appears very old and unable often to deal with this truffles of issues.

Comments made are so childlike, and then a penknife is used to create worse situation.

all we often need to do in life is live simply

love God

Love one another

Follow Jesus

it really could be that simple
