Two flatmates today were remanded in custody following a fight over missing cash. 

Mohammed El Teeb Amer, a 29-year-old Palestinian, and his flatmate Andou Hassan Issan argued over cash the former had found missing from their Birzebbuga apartment. 

The two appeared before Magistrate Antonio Micallef Trigona charged with slightly injuring each other with sharp instruments.

Mr Amer, a plasterer, was further charged with attempting to seriously injure his flatmate and with relapsing. 

Inspector Chantelle Casha told the court that although the wounds were inflicted with a knife, the injuries were superficial and had been classified by doctors as slight. 

Magistrate Micallef Trigona remanded the two men in custody.
