The courts have turned down repeated requests for bail citing the continuing police investigation and public order.Maltese police have said their investigations are continuing as the three are not thought to have been the masterminds behind the killing, the motive for which is unknown.

Officers from the US Federal Bureau of Investigations and Europol have helped Malta police investigate the case. The Council of Europe backed their call in a report last June and said an inquiry should be held within three months.
