Yorgen Fenech’s constitutional case to have Chief Homicide Inspector Keith Arnaud removed from the Daphne Caruana Galizia investigation continues, with questions surrounding the perceived failings of the investigation gathering steam in the past few weeks.

Fenech has testified that the Prime Minister’s former Chief of Staff Schembri kept him regularly updated on the investigation (including the dates of the arrest of the three men charged with carrying out the crime) and that the information was coming straight from Arnaud, an allegation that Schembri has denied.

Arnaud has also revealed that the police are yet to locate Keith Schembri’s ‘lost phone’ and that he had no idea about Schembri and Fenech’s close relationship when sharing crucial information about the case.

Investigators have also confirmed that they left his Castille office unguarded for close to two days after Schembri’s arrest, only to search it ten days later. Schembri’s office at the Labour Party Headquarters is yet to be examined.

Keith Schembri has testified in the constitutional case. Still, it proved to be evasive after he contradicted the version of events of three people – Yorgen Fenech himself, his doctor Adrian Vella, and Melvin Theuma, who has been granted a conditional presidential pardon in return for revealing everything he knows about the case.
