MESSAGE OF TRIBUTE AND CONDOLENCE BY

H.E. DR UGO MIFSUD BONNICI,

PRESIDENT OF MALTA

ON THE SAD OCCASION OF THE FUNERAL OF

OFFICER DAVID CHETCUTI

Killed on duty on the 25th April, 1998

All Malta has been shocked by the news of the killing of David Chetcuti during the performance of his duties. The enforcement of the law is an onerous task, which is an essential basis for civilised living in any country. Laws without policemen are mere ineffective aspirations.

In paying tribute to a heroic policeman who, we are proud to recall, has honoured his Maltese blood, we would wish also to show our gratitude to all those in every land who guard the citizen's life, liberty and property, and who in so doing put in jeopardy their own life and limb.

Our solidarity goes to David Chetcuti's wife, children and close relatives. We also promise individually our prayers for the repose of his soul and that God may grant his dear ones the fortitude to sustain such a terrible loss.

UGO MIFSUD BONNICI

President of Malta
