[SLIDESHOW] Murder suspects back on the scene of the crime where Caruana Galizia was murdered

The compilation of evidence against three men accused of assassinating Daphne Caruana Galizia last October continued this morning with an on-site visit to Bidnija.

Prosecutors showed magistrate Claire Stafrace Zammit around the area Alfred Degiorgio is believed to have used to study the journalist’s movements. The house and area where the bomb may have been planted were not visited by the court this morning.

Caruana Galizia was murdered on 16 October last year, shortly after leaving the house. The powerful bomb was placed beneath the driver's seat.

The magistrate has ruled there is enough prima facie evidence for the accused to stand trial but the prosecution has opted to continue with the compilation of evidence before issuing a bill of indictment.
