This notorious Malta murder took place on February 24, 1955. A bank teller/clerk, named Terreni, at a Valletta bank knew this guy, Anthony Aquilina, an employee with a flour company.
Aquilina used to deposit the company's monies at the Valletta bank where Terreni worked. On this occasion (of the murder), Terreni knew Aquilina was driving to Valletta to make the usual deposit. Somehow, Terreni talked him into driving to the Ghallis Tower area, a very isolated country area beneath Hal Gharghur.
