The family of assassinated journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia has warned any media presence at her upcoming funeral will be unwanted, unwarranted and unauthorised. 

Net News and Church media Newsbook said today they will provide extensive TV, radio and online live coverage of the funeral – which will be held on Friday at the Mosta parish church. 

Newsbook later backtracked and said a special programme will be broadcast on RTK during the event.

However, Caruana Galizia’s sister Corinne Vella urged the media not to go down that route, in a Facebook post which was shared by her sisters Mandy Mallia and Helene Asciak.

“The only people authorised to make any official announcement are the members of her family,” Vella said. “No official announcement has been made.There will be no live broadcast of the funeral service. The family has not authorised the presence of any media in church and the burial will be private”

“Any media presence at the funeral service or at the burial is unwanted, unwarranted, and unauthorised. Any information to the contrary is incorrect, unofficial, and deeply offensive to our family.”
