00:00The death of a Filipino who is on vacation in Slovenia is confirmed.
00:05The suspect is his Slovenian wife.
00:07This is Maris O'Malley.
00:13In December, the Philippines' Marvel Fakturan went to Blood, Slovenia for the first time.
00:18In pictures posted online by her Slovenian husband, Mitya Kotsianchich,
00:24they were taken outside the Philippines.
00:26They were happy to be together in what the Slovenian called the best Christmas so far.
00:31But Marvel was happy to go home from the tragedy.
00:35The victim was found dead in a house in Pinay where they were on vacation.
00:39The suspect in the crime is his wife.
00:42From the reports that the police found,
00:49we heard that there was a fight that led to the victim's death.
00:59The police said that when they entered the apartment,
01:05the victim was already dead.
01:08The police caught the suspect who was arrested and helped.
01:13According to the Commission on Filipinos Overseas,
01:16Tourist Visa was used by Fakturan to leave,
01:18so they did not join their training.
01:21We conduct counseling for the spouses of foreign nationals.
01:26We look at the background of the foreign spouse
01:32and we give them a certificate so they can leave.
01:36We check if the foreign national has a criminal record
01:41or if they have other concerns that may require additional counseling from the Filipina.
01:47Unfortunately, he did not enter that route.
01:52According to the DFA, the autopsy in Labini Fakturan was completed
01:57and our ambassador was also informed of the victim's whereabouts.
02:01They hope that Labini Fakturan will return to the Philippines within two weeks.
02:07The Philippine Embassy in Austria assured that they will investigate the case.
02:12First of all, to make sure that the victims' whereabouts can be returned.
02:17And secondly, that justice will be served.
02:22We continue to monitor this and our relationship with the Slovenian government is good.
