A man found guilty of involuntarily causing the death of an elderly woman when he ran her over has been fined Lm500.
The incident happened 10 years ago when Gozitan Maria Conti, 75, was crossing a main road in Victoria to go to Mass. Saviour Mifsud was driving his Land Rover when he hit Ms Conti who eventually died as a result of her injuries.
On evaluating the evidence, Magistrate Tonio Micallef Trigona ruled that Mr Mifsud had been negligent as he had failed to keep a proper look out on the road.
The magistrate said he was not impressed by Mr Mifsud’s claim that the elderly woman had rushed onto the road.
Mr Mifsud was fined Lm500 convertible into a three-month jail term if not paid within a month.
Police Superintendent Paul Vassallo prosecuted.
