A man who was hit by a car was then robbed by the people who offered to take him to hospital, a court was told today.
The story emerged during the arraignment of Raymond Psaila, 43 of Zabbar, who was accused of having assaulted and robbed the victim, Saviour Azzopardi, 79 of Marsascala. The case allegedly happened in 2007.
The court heard that Mr Azzopardi was hit by a car which then stopped and the occupants, who included the accused, offered to take him to hospital.
But they instead took him to a garage, assaulted him, took his house keys and burgled his house.
Psaila was granted bail against a deposit of €1,000 and a personal guarantee of €6,000.
Police Inspector Raymond Psaila prosecuted. Drs Franco Debono and Marion Camilleri were defence counsel.
