Korean Couple Murdered in the Philippines

The murder of Koreans in the Philippines continues:

A South Korean couple living in the Philippines were found dead in their home apparently by gun-inflicted wounds, the foreign ministry said Wednesday.

The bodies of the husband and wife, both in their 60s, were found at around 7 a.m. local time by a neighbor inside their homes located in a village south of Manila, the ministry said.

The two, only identified by their surname Na and Kim, reportedly had gun-inflicted wounds in their necks and chests with their bodies lying in the living room.

Local police suspect armed robbery as the motive but are still considering the possibility of murder driven by personal grudge.

The couple reportedly settled down in the Philippines seven years ago after retirement.  [Yonhap]
