A bill of indictment has been issued against one of the four men allegedly involved in the forced abortion of a Moroccan woman, after the victim gave her horrifying account of events during her testimony.

The woman had recounted her harrowing experience to The Malta Independent on Sunday last May, which not only resulting in her losing her child but also being left for dead after having suffered multiple stab wounds to her forearm and thigh.

The attack, which took place on Sunday 2 April, was committed by four men, including the woman's former boyfriend, Ashraf Ammar Marghami.

The woman, who was three months pregnant at the time, had spent the day shopping with her former partner for maternity clothes.

Maghrami spoke to The Observatory, a Libyan newspaper, following the publication of the article, where he confirmed that he committed the attack.

However, he maintained that it was not a premeditated attack as implied by the woman, but rather an instinctive violent reaction since pregnancy out of wedlock went against his religious beliefs. He denied stabbing her.

He also said that, contrary to what is being claimed by the woman, his friends did not take part in the attack.

A Police spokesperson would later confirm with The Malta Independent that one of the men allegedly involved in the attack had spoken to Maltese Police.

"A statement has been taken under oath in front of a court expert as part of the Magisterial Inquiry," the spokesperson said.

It was also revealed that two of the men, including Maghrami, had left the country following the attack.

Nizar Gwelleg, who holds a Hungarian passport, has been accused of attempted murder, grievous bodily harm resulting in an abortion, administering poisonous or harmful substances, holding the woman against her will and aggravated theft.

The victim told the court, which was presided over by Magistrate Joe Mifsud, that she had recognised the accused from the tattooed 'M' on his right hand.

She also said that Gwelleg, who was the most violent during the ordeal, placed pills up her genitalia, and also rifled through her handbag and stole some items.

Inspectors Trevor Micallef and Nikolai Sant are prosecuting.

Lawyer Leslie Cuschieri is representing the victim.
