Another Murder
Robin Malta was found beaten to death in his home on Monday.
I didn’t know Robin Malta very well. He started out as a friend of a friend, he cut my husband’s hair a couple times actually he was the only person we’ve found that could cut his hair the way he wants it. He wears it in a pompadour and no one still knows those old styles these days. Well, no one except Robin so my husband went back and asked for him special. I live very close to Salon D’Malta the salon Robin co-owned with his sister Monica so I pass by quite often walking the dog or to and from the coffee shop. Any time he was outside he would say “hi” and pet the dog or look at the baby and tell me how much he has grown and how he is so cute.
The salon doors, windows and step are covered in pictures some taken with a camera some drawn by hand, there are personal notes taped to the walls, flowers wrapped in plastic and flowers in glass vases. The sidewalk is spotted with multi colored wax and candles still burn in front of the door.
One paper on the door tells of a Remembrance Walk scheduled for tonight to start at the corner of Royal and Clouet and will snake through Marigny and the Quarter ending at the salon. Services will be held tomorrow afternoon.
I only met Mr. Robin Malta once! And now that memory will stay with me for a lifetime! He was a very likable person and I think truly loved anything that came in his way during his lifetime! I think he lived to show that people should always love and never Regeret! When I met him it was My Ring Ceremony Night My Boyfriend, My Friend and her Step-Father went out to dinner and later went to go see Robin at the Salon! It was 11 o’clock and Robin was still jus hanging out by the salon! My Friends Step-father has known him for years! Well around 12:15 My Boyfriend and I had to get going and our car was not too far but Robin insisted that he drive us to it because he said it would be TOO DANGEROUS! so he drove us to our car and I we couldnt have been more Thankful for his Generous care and concern! People like Robin Malta dont come arou
nd too often and its a shame we had the chance to never meet again!
