Malta, a small Mediterranean island known for its charming landscapes and close-knit community, has been rocked by a femicide. Last Saturday, the body of Sandra Milena Ramirez, a beloved Colombian teacher, was found in her apartment in the town of Sliema. She had been living on the island for several years and was very appreciated by her colleagues and customers at the local store where she worked.
Sandra, described as a devout woman of faith and a gifted speaker, had left her native country to seek a better future. Her death has left a deep void in her community of friends, acquaintances and family.
The alleged perpetrator of the femicide, Fabian García of Colombian nationality, surrendered to the police and confessed to being the author of the murder. When authorities arrived at the scene, they found the victim with stab wounds. However, in a court hearing on Monday, the man decided to plead not guilty and deny the charges against him.
The news of Ramirez’s death has sent shockwaves through the Colombian community, both in Malta and in her hometown. Friends and neighbors remember her as a dedicated and ambitious woman who always had a positive outlook on life. The Latin American community in Malta, of which Ramírez was a beloved member, has also been deeply affected by his death. With more than 1,000 members, the community stands in solidarity with his family and offers their support in any way they can.
Colombia has long struggled with high rates of femicide, and this heartbreaking incident serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing this issue. The Colombian community in Malta is demanding justice for Sandra Ramirez.
