There is still a great uncertainty as to when and what broke the mirror.

Were fragments of the broken mirror found? And where were they found?

It is possible that when the car chase started the mirror was still intact.

It might have been broken later on (in the tunnel maybe) as an excuse for the chase and the shooting.

In reply to ciccio.

I fully concur.

Why else would Steve Morrison Smith’s vehicle have been removed so quickly and this is not taking into account that Smith himself was also removed from circulation and only released after he had tasted arrest for over 40 hours in what are referred to as ‘the dungeons’ by police inspectors.

Why hasn’t Smith released a statement? Has he been threatened into submission?

He has one advantage over the rest of us. He holds a British passport and the British High Commission will ensure his safety.

This is no Nardu Debono or some hapless immigrant from Mali.

In reply to steve. The bullet holes had long been staring them in the face when the press release went out. Some amateur must have been playing top cop.

I find it strange that Smith’s car has U.K. number plates if he has been in Malta for a considerable number of years. Does he deal with importing second hand cars? Is the car his? The fact that Smith is still invisible raises more questions than answers.

When you drive down Nicolas Cottoner road or lane, you have to be very careful. The road is narrow and cars are parked on both sides of the road. When commercial vehicles are parked, the road becomes even more dangerous.

In reply to G. My thoughts exactly. And sometimes, when I think about how quiet the victim has kept, I suspect even him of foul play.

In reply to G. That's what I always said: was the mirror of the Impresa also broken? If not how was the other car mirror hit?

Jew inkella l-mera mhiex ir-raguni vera ta’ li-sparatura u inkisret waqt li Sheehan kien qed issuq wara Smith. Wisq kwiet minn naha ta’ Smith.

Kif inhi li l-mera ta’ Smith tan-naha tas-sewwieq ghada shiha? Jista jaghti l-kaz ukoll li hemm arma ohra involuta?

Jekk wiehed jassumi li Sheehan spara minn hdejn il-bieba tas-sewwieq tieghu, kif hemm il-brake-light tax-xellug milqut b’tir dritt u dak ta’ fuq il-bumper fuq il-lemin hu tir dritt ukoll?

Li kien mil-lemin tal-Mercedes ghax-xellug tal-Laguna, il-brake-light kien jitfarrak kollu.

Someone had asked if the engine was running because the air conditioner was on. Guess very few people could answer that question and most of them would not be inclined to unless this is a particular habit of the driver so more people might have noticed it in other instances.

Rule no.1 with this government – question everything.

There is no way Sheehan would’ve heard his mirror being hit from inside the house.

All the eye-witness accounts start at the point of two men having an altercation.

[Daphne – Well, actually there is another eyewitness account on this website from Nicholas Cotoner Street:

My theory – the gun was brought out because some backstreet meeting turned sour. The mirror was broken as an excuse later on.
