The last execution in Malta took place on July 5, 1943 at the Corradino Prison. Karmnu Zammit and his brother Guzeppi were hanged after having been found guilty of killing Spiru Grech, from Zabbar, on the road connecting Qormi to Luqa.
Anthony Patignott, on October 1, 1963, became the last person to be condemned to death in Malta. He was found guilty of killing Manwel Baldacchino. The sentence was not executed as the Governor of Malta commuted the death penalty to a life imprisonment.Between 1876 and 1943, a total of 18 executions were carried out.
