[2] On 6 April 2019, Cisse and two other migrants, Ibrahim Bah and Mohammed Jallow,[3][a] went to Birżebbuġa to watch a football match between FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid.

They later began to walk along Triq tal-Ġebel on their way back to the Ħal Far open centre, when at around 23:00 shots were fired at the three men from a car which is believed to have been a white Toyota Starlet.

Both Fenech and Scicluna were soldiers with the Armed Forces of Malta,[1] and at the time of the murder they were 21 and 22 years old respectively.
