Tagaytay, Philippines. Two Australian citizens and a Filipina woman were murdered in a hotel in a popular tourist town south of the Philippine capital.And police are trying to identify and track down the suspects, officials said Thursday.
A hotel worker found the bodies of the victims with their hands and feet bound in a room at the Lake Hotel in Tagaytay City, south of Manila, on Wednesday, according to a police report.
Police did not identify the victims or provide further details about what they described as a “homicidal incident.”
“We are shocked by this incident,” said Tagaytay Mayor Abraham Tolentino, who apologized to the victims' families. “We'll resolve this soon.”
