Police sources have told maltastar.com that the case of 17 year old Polina Rahman who was found dead last Wednesday at the bottom of St Julian’s valley with a fractured skull is not considered closed. Investigations are still going on to establish whether she died of falling accidentally or whether she was murdered.
The police are requesting the friend who was with her and was the last one to see her alive in the early hours of the morning at St George’s Bay to come back to Malta and help the police in their investigations. She was allowed to leave for Russia when the investigations of Polina Rahman’s death were not closed.
She told police that she was with Polina Rahman and then she did not see her anymore as she disappeared all of a sudden.
The police are also requesting the erection of a fence to prevent other people from falling down the edge of the valley where Polina Rahman was found.
The valley where she was found is contested territory between the local council of Pembroke and St Julian’s as both claim it is not theirs to look after.

Where the girl fell its next to a pavement where people with small children walk. i have been walking on the Dolomites with my children 5,9 years old and in places where there are families around there is always a railing or fence. in Malta as has happened also with me where my son fell in Chadwich lakes and suffered critical head injury, after someone falls we take action. Now there is a fence in this place. 2 years after my son is still no fully recovered he will bear the scars for the rest of his life. hopefully you will not learn the hard way that taking precautions is the easy way.

- Sun 29-Jul-2012, 13:04So a young girl has lost her life because of a dispute between the local council of Pembroke and St Julian’s. I hope both councils are proud of themselves! If the local councils don't care about killing tourists then perhaps the Government should.
As for her friends statement that, 'she did not see her anymore as she disappeared all of a sudden.' That doesn't sound right to me. This was in the early hours of the morning when it would hopefully have been very quiet and no one falls as far as she did without yelling out in alarm.

- Sun 29-Jul-2012, 10:20If neither council claim responsibility, then it falls on central Government to establish such duty. Meanwhile, it is obvious that it is the responsibility of either private owners, such as perimeter fences one would find with quarries, and/or central Government.
