The Malta Independent also leads with Muscat’s interrogation, with its article leading with Muscat’s remarks that police told him he was not under investigation.

The newspaper also highlights Malta’s 10th COVID-19 death and the first in nearly three months.

L-Orizzont leads with a report on this week’s double murder in Sliema, with the newspaper saying it appears the hypothesis of a revenge killing is more likely than that of a theft gone wrong.

The newspaper also gives prominence to news that Muscat was interrogated, titling its article “Muscat not investigated in connection with Daphne’s murder”.

In-Nazzjon writes that Joseph Muscat is under scrutiny by the police and that police who guarded his Burmarrad residence have all been transferred to other departments, bar one.
