A young woman from Wardija has been remanded in custody after being charged with stealing cash and mobile phones, ostensibly to finance a drug habit.
29 year-old Kim Borg Nicolas Virtu was accompanied by her distraught parents as she appeared in the dock before magistrate Ian Farrugia this morning, charged with several counts of aggravated theft as well as fraud and recidivism.
Murals at the Main Guard
I am delighted that the Main Guard is being restored. Between 1931 and 1972 it served as the Officers’ Mess of the 1st Bn The King’s Own Malta Regiment.
May I add some observations to the otherwise very good article by Daniela Attard Bezzina (December 14). The last mural was indeed by Adrian Strickland in 1972. He was helped by the late Paul DeBono and myself. What was referred to in the article as “two sizeable flags” are in fact reproductions of the regimental colours of the King’s Own Malta Regiment. Adrian, Paul and I felt we had to paint the colours before the regiment was disbanded on March 31, 1972.

Malta’s premium winemaker Marsovin, has just released a Long Lees limited edition of its coveted Cassar de Malte Brut sparkling wine.
Cassar de Malte is the only bottle fermented vintage quality sparkling wine produced in Malta using the original ‘traditional method’. The Chardonnay grapes are handpicked from the winery’s private estate in Wardija specifically for the production of Cassar de Malte.
Lees ageing is an integral part of the traditional method premium sparkling wines and it is this very process which makes these wines so special. The lees mainly consist of yeasts that have multiplied in the bottle and formed a deposit. By the end of the second fermentation, all of the sugars have been consumed and the yeasts gradually die and decompose.
