Three men have been charged in Malta with the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, who was killed in October by a bomb planted on her car.

The anti-corruption journalist, who worked on the Panama Papers, was killed as she drove out of her home on the Mediterranean island on 16 October.

She had worked on a number of stories exposing corruption among Malta's elite.

The three men charged with her murder were named in court as brothers George and Alfred Degiorgio, 55 and 53 respectively, and Vincent Muscat, 55.

The suspects were remanded in custody after a preliminary court hearing.

They were among 10 people arrested during raids carried out by Maltese police and armed forces on Monday in connection with Ms Caruana Galizia's murder.

Her popular blog had relentlessly highlighted cases of alleged high-level corruption targeting politicians from across party lines, including around the Panama Papers tax scandal.
