Three men have been charged with gang-raping a 21-year-old Qala woman at a construction site in Qala on Wednesday morning. Aaron Camilleri, 28, and Mark Cutajar, 31, both from Nadur, and Paul Xerri, 46, from Xaghra, pleaded not guilty to raping the woman, holding her against her will and slightly injuring her.
The prosecuting officer, Police Inspector Josric Mifsud, objected strongly to a request for bail arguing that important prosecution witnesses had yet to testify and that there was the possibility that the accused would tamper with the evidence.
However, the court, presided over by Magistrate Paul Coppini, upheld the request and granted Mr Camilleri and Mr Xerri bail against a deposit of €1,000 and a personal guarantee of €2,000.
Mr Cutajar, who the court heard was believed to have masterminded the gang rape, was granted bail against a deposit of €2,000 and a personal guarantee of €4,000.
Lawyers Manuel Mallia and Anton Refalo acted for the defence.


























Pictures of these disgusting creatures should also be published, and they certainly should not be given bail!
I have to agree with you there Lesley. I think it is absolutely disgusting that these so-called ‘men’ were given bail. What gives this scum the right to think that they can treat women in this way? And more to the point what gives the courts the right to think it is acceptable to allow them to walk the streets with normal humans?
The Tv and the newspaper should show there faces. And this people they don’t diserved any second change.They have to be punished for their sin. You and they dont know what damage they done to the girl.So we don’t want this sort of people around us and our kids.They need to be in.AND PLS THEY HAVE TO BE IN .
