Korean police helping Filipino police in murder of businessman
South Korean police investigators have been helping Baguio police to solve the murder of businessman Jeon Jun Seo.
Philippine police authorities are tracing two angles into the ambush-slay that injured the Korean businessman’s live-in partner at Upper Pinget the other week.
Senior Supt. Ramil Saculles, acting Baguio City police head, said Korean police worked with them on technical aspects of the investigation like CCTV footage as well as the crime scene.
Seo with his companion Chris Joy Dichoso Jerez were inside their vehicle in Upper Pinget, on October 29, when unidentified gunmen fired at them several times. Seo died while Jerez is still recovering.
A P300,000 bounty was raised by the Korean community to solve the murder of Seo. The reward will be given based on the weight of evidence from a witness which will result to the identification suspects.
“We welcome the reward and hope it will help solve this case,” Saculles said.
Police said Seo came to Baguio in 2007 and became a realtor after retiring from a telephone company in Korea. Since 2008, some 5,000 Koreans have flocked Baguio for study, business and retire. DMS
