There is a hugely emotive and high profile murder case going on in the small Island of Malta right now. Here is a short summary of the absolutely tragic case so far;
23 year-old male teacher Erin Tanti had a four-month sexual relationship with 15 year-old schoolgirl Lisa Maria Zahra. March 18th this year, the Zahra family handyman discovered Tanti spent the night with Lisa Maria, and told her Dad Anthony (who was overseas). Dad began rushing back, while older brother Nicholas filed a police report.
For five hours that night, Erin and Lisa texted each other. Tanti said he'd stab himself if they were parted; Lisa told him to calm down. Tanti eventually drove back to Lisa's house, picked her up and drove to Dingle cliffs. He had 3,000 ( $4,000) cash on him, and his passport. Here's the heartbreaker:
'The two drank half a bottle of whisky and ingested the contents of three packets of aspirin, found inside Tantis car by police.
Zahra was said to have jumped off the cliffs at 4am. Tanti told the police that he tried to stop her from jumping, after she insisted over the course of the night that she would kill herself. She was sure of wanting to die. I told her that it was not right, and she called me a coward I wanted a slower death so that we spend our last moments together. '
Eventually, Tanti says he followed the teen down, but luckily landed on a rock, where he esaped serious injury and was rescued. Young Lisa Maria died.
There's much more, including Tanti's defence blaming teen Lisa as the instigator of the 'suicide', and Tanti's former friend describing him as a sociopath...
