Specialist Malcolm Crockford told the court today that scans he examined of Vince Farrugia’s bones after he was assaulted by Chetcuti, exhibited a redness that could not be attributed to the incident itself or any fractures.
Property developer Sandro Chetcuti is accused of assaulting the Chamber of SMEs (GRTU) director-general Vince Farrugia at the GRTU offices in Valletta. He is being charged of his attempted murder after Farrugia suffered numerous blows.
But in today’s court sitting, Crockford’s testimony intensifies doubts first shed by another court expert, Dr Mario Scerri, on the medical report of Farrugia’s injuries by radiologist Dr Anthony Samuel.
Scerri insisted that Vince Farrugia did not suffer fractures but was only slightly injured.
Handing in a detailed report, Scerri explained that a scar on Farrugia’s eyebrow was not serious, so much so that to date it is not visible.
Scerri also challenged the conclusions of Dr Samuel’s report and insisted that Vince Farrugia’s ribs were not fractured. Backed up by a three-phase scan, Dr Scerri explained that the scan showed a re-modelled bone due to a previous injury but there were no fractures.
This was also pointed out in a report by Dr Konrad Borg at the Emergency Department stating that there were no fractures too.
Sandro Chetcuti is being assisted by Dr Edward Gatt and Dr Emanuel Mallia.

Ghaliex dan l-istaghgib kollhu? Mela nsejna li taht Gonzi kollox possibli?

Issa jidher car kekk Vince Farrugia ried jinqeda b'dan l-incident biex jidher li hu xi martri . B'dan jiena ma rridtx niggustifika l-attakk li sar fuqu , izda lanqas napprova dak li ghamel Vince Farrugia ghax dak jissejjah falsifikazzjoni tal-provi u jikkostitwixxi reat kriminali .
Ma ninsewx kemm in-Nazzjon ippruvat taghmel kapital politiku minn dan il-kas u ippruvat thammeg lill-Dr.Joseph Muscat u lill partit Laburista .
Jekk jigi ippruvat li kien hemm kas ta' reat kriminali , ser jittiehdu passi kontra dawk il persuni involuti? Jew kollox ser jibqa ghaddej , u qisu qatt ma gara xejn?
Nistennew u naraw .

Jekk dan huwa minnu l-GRTU ghandu tiehu mizuri biex Vince Farrgia JITKECCA. Dan ipprova jimmunta tragedja fil propjeta tal GRTU u ipprova jimmobilizza l-membri kontra Sur Sandro. Il President is Sur abela li ma jitlifx okazzjoni li ma jiftahx halqu min naha ghal ohra ghandu jiehu kaz ta dixxiplina.Issa Sur Abela 7Co inqdew b'Censu u ma ghadux validu ghal GONZIPN. Kollox qieghed jillikwida.

Cens, arma pipa u irtira bil-kwiet ghaliex iz-zmien ma jistenna lil hadd. Bejn xi attakk tal-artrite u xi ftit tal-amnesia selettiva ma nibqghux dak li konna.

If it is finally decided that after all there where no broken bones, where does this put Dr Anthony Samuel?
Should he be accused of perjury or of being a bad radiologist?
•
meta tghalaq is 60 kollox jittanta !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does this mean that the GRTU will have to re-think "Vince Farrugia Day"?
Issss!

OK...what is the link between Dr Samuel and VF?
