Estranged partner charged with threatening to kill lawyer Margaret Mifsud
Former partner of lawyer found dead of heart attack in car charged with harassing, threatening mother of his two children.
Margaret Mifsud was found dead in her car at Bahar ic-Caghaq. Her former partner Nizar el Gadi was arrested on charges of holding Mifsud against her will back on 24 March 2012.
The former partner of Margaret Mifsud, a lawyer found dead in her car on 19 April, 2012, has been charged with threatening to kill Mifsud, the mother of his children.
Nizar el Gadi, 33, was arrested on suspicion of holding her against her will, injuring, threatening and harassing her on 24 March 2012 following the death of Mifsud in her car in Bahar ic-Cagħaq in April.
Results of Margaret Mifsud's autopsy indicate that she suffered a heart attack, however it is still unknown what caused the heart attack.
El Gadi has been accused of slightly injuring and harassing Mifsud, and holding her against her, and of committing a crime during the operative period of a suspended sentence.
The alleged incidents allegedly took place on March 24 in the morning.
Lawyer and judicial assistant Margaret Mifsud, 31, who had two children from El Gadi, was found dead in her car in an isolated part of the Bahar ic-Caghaq. The day before at 11.30pm she was reported seen at the Fortress Bar in Xemxija, later taking her secretary home but she never went back to her mother's home, going missing until being discovered dead on Thursday afternoon.
Police instantly ruled out any foul play into the death of Margaret Mifsud.
In 2005, the family courts awarded custody of the couple's two children to Mifsud, after she demanded he pay maintenance for the two children. El Gadi was then employed as a labourer with Vassallo Bulders on a Lm270 (€500) monthly salary.
