In October 2017, Daphne Caruana Galizia was murdered by a car bomb in Malta where she lived and worked. Her son Paul, a reporter at Tortoise, says her family were ‘shocked but not surprised’ at her death.

How could the assassination of a prominent journalist in an EU country be unsurprising? In the second episode of a four-part series, Paul reveals the chain of events which culminated in his mother’s murder.

It is a little over two years since Daphne Caruana Galizia, Malta’s pre-eminent investigative journalist, died in a car bomb, and the shock is still being felt. In an EU member country, how was such a political assassination even possible? How closely implicated in the plot were high-ranking members of the government and business?

The questions only deepened as it began to appear that the people behind the murder might get away with it. Daphne’s son Paul Caruana Galizia is a reporter at Tortoise. Amidst growing uncertainty about whether justice would ever be done, he returned to Malta late last year to investigate.
