MANILA - A 60-year-old Belgian national shot and killed his Filipina wife before committing suicide in the northern Philippines, police said Thursday.
Johnny Constant Van Giert was overheard having a heated argument with his 37-year-old wife minutes before shooting her Tuesday night in the town of Iguig in northern Cagayan province, the police headquarters in Manila said in a report.
Van Giert then turned the gun on himself, the police said.
They said they were investigating what triggered the argument, which witnesses said occurred after the wife received a mysterious telephone call.
