The compilation of evidence against a man charged with the murder of a Gozitan lawyer continued behind closed doors yesterday.

David Zerafa, 31, of Nadur, is pleading not guilty to the murder of lawyer Michael Grech in May last year.

The prosecution yesterday asked the court to hear a witness behind closed doors for the better administration of justice and for the protection of the same witness who was feeling threatened by a person.

The Gozo court, presided over by Magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera, upheld the prosecution's request and ordered the media not to report the details of the witness.
