A 37-year-old Belgian man was found dead in his Qawra apartment at 8.30am yesterday.
He was naked in the bath and had several marks on his body, including on his neck, police sources said.
The cause of death is expected to be established today when an autopsy will be held. Until then, the police are considering it as a ‘suspicious’ death. The man, who lived in Perellos Street, was found after police received reports from the landlady that there could be a dead body, given the foul smell emanating from the flat.
Duty Magistrate Claire Stafrace Zammit appointed experts to help her inquiry.
