It's practically impossible to find one person in Malta who hasn't heard the story of the gruesome murder (and partial beheading and throwing into a laundry machine) of eight-year-old Anthony "Twannie" Aquilina in 1960. 

Dozens of Xarabank features later, it doesn't seem like one conclusive story can still be agreed upon. Many agree that it was his parents, Leli and Ġiġa —who were indeed found guilty of murder— but the drastic decrease in punishment from the death penalty, to life imprisonment, to later ten years, is still the cause of many heated debates.
