Yes, It could very well have been, as I am going by oral lore spoken by oldtimers in the late 1950s.

It is hard to remember full exact details after over a half a century although my recollection is said by others to be sharper than most.

Further details to the case was that the naive woman was lured to that location by her husband telling her a lie, that she was to pick-up a shipment of gold coming in by boat and he was too busy elsewhere but two other men will be there to help her.

The other men turned out to be her killers.

[Daphne – There was a much more recent case, only a few years ago, in which a man in Gozo asked his wife to go for a clifftop walk with him to discuss their marital problems, and as soon as they got there, he tossed her off the edge. Her body was never found, but he confessed and was convicted of her murder. He said that he did it because it was less complicated than leaving her.]

In reply to ken il malti. I think you mean 'Burnell'.

There was a murder case in around the year 1900 in Malta that involved two men hired by the husband of a woman who pushed her off a cliff at Golf it-Tafal in Xghajra. One of the convicted murderers had the surname Brunell.

Comments like the one by “matthew tanti” under the article in The Malta Independent is pathetic.

“is there something more to these incessant attacks than meets the eye? daphne usually only comments on political matters….so either she will try to somehow link this man to the labour party, or else she must have some other motivation.”

Who the hell is “matthew tanti”? He seems to come out of the woodwork every now and then to politicise issues.

Is he a relative of Erin Tanti?

In reply to Grezz. According to the same news report, the man showed no emotion in court.

He was actually arrested at the ITU at Mater Dei Hospital on the 21st of March, two days after having been found in Dingli – http://www.tvm.com.mt/news/aggornat-2-se-jkun-akkuzat-li-gieghla-toqtol-ruhha-bidejha/

It really is incredible that there are some who take you to task in their comments below your article. Sick is the only word that comes to mind and anger the only emotion.

Six accusations are no joke.

One more thought to those attacking the Zahras, even if Lisa Marie was a troubled child, even if somehow her father did not know what was going on in her life (and I can think of many her age who exclude their parents from their life) how does that justify Erin Tanti in any way for what he did?

Does it give him the right to defile her? To give her alcohol and pills on the edge of a cliff at night?

Nothing, but absolutely nothing, can justify what he did.
