A 42-year-old man was arraigned before the Gozo courts on Wednesday, accused of the murder of an Egyptian man who was shot twice in January 2018.
Aleksandr Stojanovic, a Serbian national who lives in Safi, pleaded not guilty to having murdered father-of-two Walid Salah Abdel Motaleb Mohammed, who was found dead in a remote field in Għarb, Gozo, on January 22, 2018.
The police said investigators had established that the accused was with the victim just hours before.
The victim was found lying on the ground with two shotgun wounds, one on the left side of the neck and the other in the centre of his chest.
