Tourists killed at Philippines hotel
Police in the Philippines are investigating a suspected triple murder in a hotel.
An Australian couple and a Filipina were found deceased at a tourist hotel south of Manila.
The victims were named as David Fisk, 57, wife Lucita Cortez, 55, and her relative Mary Jane Cortez, 30.
They were discovered at the Lake Hotel in Tagaytay City.
All three were tied by their hands and feet and their faces taped up.
“The male had a wound in his neck and his blood is all over the floor,” police chief Charles Capagcuan said.
He added that the females had no visible signs of the cause of death apart from a few bruises.
“We are already coordinating with the families of the victims,” Capagcuan added.
Tagaytay is a popular high-altitude short break destination.
