Scope and content
Giovanni Maria Aquilina is accused of murdering Giacobo Schembri at the request of Schembri's wife Innocenza. He was first arraigned before the Curia Gubernatorialis of Gozo, and then transferred to the Magna Curia Castellania to undergo interrogation under torture (described). They had followed Giacobo to the coastline of Marsalforn and precisely to the area of Ghar Cuacla, where he was collecting patelli, and there Giovanni Maria struck him with a stone and then threw the corpse into the sea. They were both found guilty: Aquilina was sentenced to hang and Schembri to exile from Malta and Gozo for life.
