Pelin Kaya murder suspect Jeremie Camilleri lived in an extremely filthy state, with dead rats found on his kitchen floor.

Police sergeant Christian Xuereb revealed the state of Camilleri’s Lija home in court today, after he was questioned by the suspect’s lawyer Alfred Abela.

Xuereb said that officers found dead rats on his kitchen floor, live rats scuttling around, his toilet clogged with excrement, water on the floor and filth everywhere.

“It was frightful (tal-biża),” he said, confirming that everything was caught on police bodycams.

Camilleri lived in a partitioned house, with a door separating his home from his mother’s.

CCTV footage shows he left his home shortly after midnight on 18th January, around an hour after he sent his ex-girlfriend an ominous voice recording, describing himself as a psychopath and a proud criminal and saying she will read about him on the news the next day.

He drove straight to Gżira, where he came across Kaya, who had just turned 30 and was waiting to meet her boyfriend, who had just landed in Malta.

CCTV footage shows that Camilleri had changed direction as soon as he saw Kaya.

During today’s sitting, it was also revealed that Camilleri was taking psychiatric medication and that he would collect his pills from a Lija pharmacy on a daily basis, following a recommendation by his psychiatrist.

Following a request by the defence, magistrate Rachel Montebello appointed psychiatrist Anton Grech to examine Camilleri and his medical files.
