Authorities in the island resort of Boracay said based on their initial investigation, jealousy was the motive behind the British national’s killing early Friday morning of his Taiwanese wife inside their rented room at a beach resort in the island.
The gruesome killing was discovered by the Boracay Special Tourist Police Office (BSTPO) after the 40-year-old suspect Carl Andrew Foster approached a lady policeman inside a restaurant located in Sitio Manggayad, Brgy. Manoc-Manoc, Boracay Island, Malay, Aklan and admitted he had killed his wife Fu Chia-ning, 43, inside their rented room in Casa Pilar Beach Resort.
The couple reportedly went out of the resort around 11 p.m. Thursday. Foster went back alone inside their room, furious and locked the door.
Later, the victim arrived and tried to call Foster to open the door. Foster reportedly ignored her prompting the victim to seek the help of a security guard for her to enter the room.
As soon as she entered, Foster allegedly hit her several times in the head with a glass bottle. The victim begged him to stop beating her but her cry fell on deaf ears.
The suspect also strangulated his wife before he left the resort at about 1:30 a.m. Friday and proceeded to Luna Rossa restaurant where he approached PO2 Lyn Banez of the BSTPO and disclosed the incident to her.
BSTPO operatives proceeded to the Casa Pilar Resort and found Chia-ning dead and lying in a pool of blood inside their room.
Foster and Chia-ning, both residents of Neiku district, Taipei, Taiwan reportedly arrived in the country few weeks ago to spend vacation in Boracay Island.
The suspect was placed under the custody of BSTPO for further investigation. (PNA)
