Three youths from Birkirkara
were arraigned in court on Friday after being involved in violent incidents
with two other men they work with on Tuesday. One of the youths, 20-year-old
Aaron Vella was accused of attempting to seriously wound one of the victims,
Reuben Scicluna and relapsing. The attempted wounding was foiled because of an
occurrence independent of Aaron Vella’s will.
Another youth among the accused, 18-year-old Josef Vella, was charged with
permanently disfiguring Mario Saliba from Gzira. The young man, who also kicked
and punched the victim repeatedly, was also accused of threatening Mario Saliba
numerous times.
Together with 18-year-old Josef Vella, Josef Vella and Mario Saliba were also
accused of holding Mario Saliba against his will, throwing stones at Reuben
Scicluna and breaching public peace.
The court, presided over by Magistrate Dennis Montebello, remanded the three
youths in custody until the victims take the witness stand.
The prosecution was led by Inspector Anthony Cassar.
