New leads into the murder of accountant Lino Cauchi supposedly providing information on where the victim was killed and how, were passed on to the police and the Home Affairs Minister in 2003 MaltaToday has learned, but when asked to comment on the information and as to whether it was fruitful to the investigation as a whole, neither the Minister nor the Police Commissioner would comment.
The information, which reached the victim’s relatives through third party individuals, had been overheard in a bar. Even though the information may turn out to be pure speculation, the victim’s relatives are still in the dark as to whether the police followed up the leads provided.
The murder of accountant Lino Cauchi, whose body was found butchered in a well in Buskett in 1985 after disappearing with no trace in 1982, is still subject to a magisterial inquiry started in the late eighties.
“Due to the fact that a magisterial inquiry is still in progress, and the police department is still proceeding with the investigations, it is not our policy to divulge any information to the press,” a spokesperson for the police told MaltaToday.
The police would neither comment on where Lino Cauchi’s skull is being kept and why it was never passed on to the victim’s relatives for burial.
