In a shocking development, authorities remain without concrete suspects in the case of a Slovakian tourist's death on the renowned Boracay Island, Aklan province. The tragic incident involves the death of 23-year-old Michaela Mickova, which has prompted a swift response from local law enforcement.

 

Despite reports of apprehensions, Aklan Police Provincial Office spokesperson, Police Capt. Aubrey Ayon, clarified that no one is technically considered a suspect, emphasising the distinction between suspects and persons of interest. The latter are individuals who may possess crucial information about the crime or have witnessed something significant.

 

Leading the investigation is Police Col. Arnel Ramos, heading the newly formed Special Investigation Task Group (SITG). The group is keen on dispelling inaccuracies in circulating news and social media stories, ensuring the public receives accurate information regarding their progress.

 

 

 

Notably, a man was detained on Boracay shortly after the crime but was found to have no connection to the event, according to Police Lt. Col. Mar Joseph Ravelo. However, police have yet to confirm if he remains among the persons of interest, especially given his involvement in unrelated illegal activities.

 

The investigation continues with a focus on gathering evidence and testimonies to solve the case, while maintaining transparency and urging the public to exercise patience as they seek justice for Mickova, reported Manila Bulletin.
