Widow Sues Fgura Care Home Over Husband's Death
Antonia Perini has filed a lawsuit against the operators of Dar San Ġużepp care home in Fgura after her husband Giuseppe Perini died following an alleged attack by his roommate at the facility.
Giuseppe Perini allegedly suffered an unprovoked attack by his roommate at Dar San Ġużepp care home in Fgura on 14 October 2025. He died at Mater Dei Hospital two weeks later.
Antonia Perini, his widow, claims the home negligently placed her husband, who had dementia, with a resident reportedly known for aggressive behaviour and previous similar incidents. She argues the roommate should have been accommodated in a secure ward.
A magisterial inquiry did not attribute criminal responsibility to the roommate. However, medical evidence documented multiple facial bruises and bleeding when Perini was found unconscious.
The lawsuit names Care Residence Limited, Care Residence Operation Limited and the roommate as defendants. It argues that the care home operators should be held accountable for failing to protect a vulnerable resident.
