Luqa man bailed after domestic incident

A 34-year-old Luqa man has been granted bail after he was arraigned in court this morning, charged with assaulting two police officers, his wife and her brother last Saturday.

Inspector Paula Ciantar arraigned the man, who is not being named to protect the identity of the victims, before magistrate Audrey Demicoli.

No details of the circumstances which led to his arrest were revealed in court.

Lawyers Alfred Abela and Mario Mifsud entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of their client and requested bail. The prosecution did not object to this request.

The accused was released on bail against a personal guarantee of €1,000 and on condition that he observes a curfew.
