Army divers continued searching the seabed in Marsa on Friday morning in a bid to find any evidence that could help the police solve past car bombings.

Several mobile phones, including the one believed to have been used to send the SMS that triggered the bomb that killed Daphne Caruana Galizia, were found in the sea just off the quay where the ex-potato shed is found.

Police believe the mobile phones could shed light on several unsolved car bombings that happened over the past few years.

The metal shed where the three men accused of Caruana Galizia's murder were arrested on Monday 4 December, remains under police and army watch.

The zone was described to MaltaToday by residents and workers in the area as a den of criminals where luxury cars would often be seen driving in on a Saturday morning.

However, MaltaToday returned to a very quiet and calm area, four days after it was the scene of an impressive police and army raid. On the quay, unperturbed by the presence of an army patrol boat and a dinghy with officers scrutinising the nooks and crannies along the coast, two men were fishing. The hobbyists said the sea in the area was very deep.
