Court Rules Bernice Cilia's Assets Must Pass to Her Children
A civil court has ruled that the estate of Bernice Cilia, who was killed by her husband Roderick Cassar in November 2022, must pass to her two children rather than to Cassar himself.
Cassar is currently serving a 40-year prison sentence after admitting to shooting Cilia three times in Kordin. The case was brought before the First Hall of the Civil Court by Cilia's parents, Joseph and Maria Carmela, who have held custody of the couple's children since the killing. The children are now aged eleven and eight.
Judge Dr Joanne Vella Cuschieri found that Cilia's parents were justified in their request, ruling that Cassar was unworthy of inheriting any of her assets. As Cilia had not left a will, the court directed that her estate be transferred directly to her children.
