John Cassar, the 47-year-old man suspected of killing his mother and seriously injuring his father in Mqabba, is expected to be arraigned in court later today.Cassar was arrested following Thursday afternoon’s incident in Triq Valletta, Mqabba, which left his 72-year-old mother, Mary Grace Cassar, dead and his 74-year-old father, Ġanni Cassar, hospitalised.The suspect spent Thursday night in hospital after reportedly consuming a large quantity of drugs, with doctors monitoring his condition before police could question him.His expected arraignment comes as authorities work within the 48-hour legal timeframe following his arrest.The incident occurred at around 2.15pm on Thursday, with sources indicating that Mary Grace Cassar may have been attacked with a screwdriver.Her husband was rushed to hospital in critical condition and was subsequently reported to be in a stable condition.Following the incident, police launched a search for Cassar near the Monte Kristo estate before he eventually surrendered following negotiations.Cassar is also the brother of convicted murderer Roderick Cassar, who is serving a 40-year prison sentence for killing his wife, Bernice Cilia.Police investigations into the case remain ongoing.•
