Times of Malta reported on Saturday that two Maltese soldiers have been arrested for the murder of Ivorian national Lasana Cisse. The duo allegedly shot the father-of-three and two others, a 28-year-old Gambian, Mohamed, and 27-year-old Guinean, Ibrahim, the paper said. The incident happened last month in the town of Birzebbugga.

Ibrahim and Mohamed were walking back home after watching a football match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

The country’s prime minister Joseph Muscat on Sunday said the only thing that the three men were shot at was because they were black.
