My Mother’s Murder

It is a little over two years since Daphne Caruana Galizia, Malta’s pre-eminent investigative journalist, died in a car bomb, and the shock is still being felt.

In October 2017, Daphne Caruana Galizia was murdered by a car bomb in Malta where she lived and worked. Her son Paul, a reporter at Tortoise, says her family were ‘shocked but not surprised’ at her death.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a prolific reporter, juggling dozens of stories at the same time. One of those stories held the secret to her assassination. But which one?

Within months of Daphne Caruana Galizia’s murder, three hitmen were arrested for the crime. Then – nothing.
