Daphne Caruana Galizia, an investigative journalist and blogger from Malta who was known for her reporting on governmental corruption, was killed in a bomb explosion near her home on Monday, officials say.
Galizia, 53, who had published a story on her blog at about 2:35 p.m. local Malta time Monday, was driving away from the home where she lived with her husband in Bidnija, a rural area on the island, in a rented Peugeot 108 around 3 p.m. when the car went up in flames, according to local media reports.
The blast sent detritus far into the surrounding fields and badly burned the body. Photos showed the Peugeot’s mangled shell in a field, dozens of yards away from the blast site.
No suspects have been identified in the bombing.
In 2017, 27 journalists have been killed for their work so far, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Galizia’s death was widely condemned by officials and NGOs across Europe and Malta, where the journalist’s relentless fixation on corruption, cronyism and political malfeasance had brought her to prominence.
that looks like a torso but her foot is there, what an ugly way to go
