Three More South Koreans Found Murdered In the Philippines

This makes me wonder if these three were killed as part of feuding between drug gangs or as part of the government’s drug crackdown?  I guess we will find out as more details become available:

Three people, at least two of who were identified as South Korean nationals, were found dead near a small Philippine city on Tuesday.

All three individuals were found with gunshot wounds, with their wrists or legs bound with electric tape, South Korean news service Newsis reported on Thursday, local time.

The bodies were discovered in a sugar cane field near the city of Bacolor in Pampanga Province, about 50 miles from Manila, at around 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

Of the victims, two men and a woman who were in their 40s and 50s, one man had had his legs tied with electric tape, and the woman’s wrists were bound.

No arrests have been made and the case is under investigation.

Violent deaths of South Korean nationals in the Philippines have been on the rise in 2016, with the death count up to 6 this year.  [UPI]
