The police had had seven reports of incidents involving the same contractor who was working on a site in Sta Venera last March when an adjoining house collapsed, killing resident Miriam Pace, a court heard on Thursday.
Superintendent Robert Vella, handling investigations after the tragic episode, said the reports about Ludvic Dimech or LK Ltd, took place between October 2008 and December 2019.
Days after the Hamrun tragedy, the contractor was involved in a road collapse at Pender Gardens, St Julians.
Obviously [Dimech] is not the only contractor who had such incidents,” Vella pointed out, further noting that some of those reports concerned incidents involving Enemalta cables.
