A British father-of-two has tragically died from catastrophic brain injuries following a violent altercation at a Maltese hotel, with his grieving family now receiving chilling death threats from the alleged attackers.
Family Terrorised After Tragedy
The family of Matthew Mifsud, a 47-year-old British national, are living in fear after receiving menacing messages from suspects linked to the fatal incident. "We're going to kill you," one threat read, adding unimaginable distress to a family already devastated by their loss.
Catastrophic Injuries in Paradise
Mr Mifsud, who had been enjoying a holiday in the Mediterranean destination, suffered irreversible brain damage during a confrontation at the Soreda Hotel in St Paul's Bay on September 8. Despite being rushed to Mater Dei Hospital, medical professionals delivered the heartbreaking news that nothing could be done to save him.
His sister, Sarah Mifsud, described the torment of watching her brother's life slip away. "They said the damage was catastrophic and there was nothing they could do," she revealed, her voice trembling with emotion.
A Life Cut Short
Matthew, remembered as a devoted father to his two teenage children, had been working in construction in Malta. His family now faces the dual nightmare of grieving their loss while fearing for their own safety.
"He was just a normal guy enjoying a holiday," a family friend shared. "Nobody expects to come home in a coffin after a hotel dispute."
Investigation Underway Amid Safety Concerns
Maltese authorities have confirmed they are treating the case with utmost seriousness. Three individuals have been identified in connection with the incident, though formal arrests are pending further investigation.
The case has raised urgent questions about tourist safety in Malta, a popular destination for British travellers. Local police have assured the family they are taking the death threats seriously and are providing appropriate protection measures.
As the investigation continues, the Mifsud family waits for justice while mourning a life taken too soon in circumstances that have turned a holiday paradise into their worst nightmare.
