VALLETTA (Reuters) - The son of Malta's best-known investigative journalist said on Tuesday his mother had been killed by a car bomb because of her work exposing political corruption, as hundreds of people demonstrated to demand justice after her death.

Daphne Caruana Galizia, who wrote about graft across Malta's political divides on her blog, died when explosives ripped through her car minutes after she left her home in the north of the island on Monday afternoon.
