Ta’ Maksar Killer’s Prison Internet Access Raises Concerns

In a chilling revelation, Justice Minister Edward Zammit Lewis confirmed that the man convicted for the brutal murder of 17-year-old Lassana Cisse in Ta’ Maksar last year had access to the internet while in prison.

Prison Internet Access: A Security Concern

This revelation has sparked outrage and concern among the public and security experts alike. The minister confirmed that the convict, a 22-year-old man from Msida, was allowed internet access for ‘educational purposes’ during his time at Corradino Correctional Facility. However, the details of how this access was monitored and controlled remain unclear.

Ta’ Maksar Community Reacts

Residents of Ta’ Maksar, the quiet residential area where the gruesome murder took place, are understandably shaken by the news. “We thought he was behind bars, not planning his next move online,” said a local resident who wished to remain anonymous. The community is now calling for a thorough review of prison internet policies to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Minister’s Response and Way Forward

Minister Zammit Lewis has assured the public that the necessary measures will be taken to ensure that such incidents do not recur. He stated, “We are reviewing our prison internet policies to strike a balance between rehabilitation and security. We owe it to the victims and their families to get this right.”

As the investigation into this matter continues, one thing is clear: the internet access granted to prisoners must be strictly monitored and controlled to prevent misuse. The Ta’ Maksar community, and indeed the whole of Malta, deserves to feel safe and secure.
