ALFREDO Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Paul Dean Davy, 53, was shot in the head with a .45 calibre pistol while he was talking to another Australian at the Blue Rock Beach Resort in Olongapo, north-west of Manila. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-04-06/australian-shot-dead-at-holiday-resort/4613852 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-04-08/motorbike-found-in-hunt-for-australians-killer/4615710 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siam2007 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) If you require a country where even more foreigners are being murdered than in LOS, look no further than the Philippines.... . Edited April 11, 2013 by siam2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maprao Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Sad often wanted to visit there to party but put off by the violence. Much more than Thailand. When I went there on business the hotels always warned me not to walk outside the hotel alone in Manila. There will be more to this story than just a random hit I suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDog Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I believe they are interviewing some staff with the thoughts it may have been an employee that was recently sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siam2007 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 most probably it was an employee / former employee or a competitor. while crime is ripe in Thailand too, particularly at any tourist spots, the crime is much more random in the PH. to be fair, what has happened there in Olongapo, happens in Thailand as well. And it does happen to locals. I am sure you heard about the story of the Thai lady who was the head of HR for Hilton Phuket and was murdered recently, most likely by a dishonest ex-executive of the Hotel who she had fired....

Travel2003 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Looks like a civil war, or a city under siege, with all the armed security guards all over Manila. Even the shopping malls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
