CCTV footage allegedly captured three men fleeing the site of a double murder in Sliema late last night.

One News reports that three men carrying a bag were caught on tape leaving the house and fleeing in a white car.

A motive behind the murder is still unknown and hopefully many of the murky details will be cleared up in a police press conference expected to happen at some point today.

There have been suggestions that it could be part of an attempted burglary. However, sources have said that it is far too early to say and there are indications that there was no sign of forced entry.

At roughly 10.30pm last night, members of the Police’s Rapid Intervention Unit rushed to the scene following reports of gunshots at the residence, they found the two men dead on the first and second floors of the house.

The victims have since been identified as Christian Pandolfino and his partner Ivor Maciejowski.

On social media, Maciejowski described himself as a “contemporary art dealer and photography art publisher”. Meanwhile, Pandolfino was a graduated doctor who worked in the banking sector. He was also an avid antique collector.

Pandolfino and Maciejowski had been together for years. Pandolfino was reportedly out for supper with their family before the fatal shooting.

No one has yet been taken in police custody related to this case, and it seems like the perpetrators are still at large. The Police has therefore made an urgent appeal for anyone who might have any sort of information on the case to reach out.
