“According to  Embassy,  police are saying, based on their interrogation, appears to have been happened two months ago…forensics may be able to provide supporting evidence,” Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Eduardo de Vega said  remains of  overseas Filipino worker, missing for two months, were found in  heavily decomposed state inside  home of  Kuwaiti citizen.

De  Vega described  body of  OFW as being in  “advanced state of decomposition.”

De Vega said  alleged perpetrator,  turned over by his brother, is “incoherent” and “difficult to get clear information from.”

“Possibly from frequent drug use as he has  prior record of drug use…his own brother who turned him in,” he said. 

News  of  OFW’s death was revealed in  “public announcement,” according to De Vega.

Announcement  mentioned  public prosecutors will charge  couple with concealing premeditated murder and that body was recovered by authorities from  couple’s garden in Saad Al-Abdullah, Jahra.

De  Vega, did not reveal further details, as  embassy is still in contact with  family of the deceased domestic worker.

“Embassy team is communicating with local authorities as we seek justice for our kababayan,” De Vega said.

In recent years, several OFWs have lost their lives in Kuwait. These cases include Jullebee Ranara, whose burned body was found in  desert in 2023; Joanna Demafelis, who was murdered and stuffed into  freezer by her employers in 2018; Constancia Lago Dayag, who died at the hands of her employer in May 2019; and Jeanelyn Villavende, who was killed by her female employer out of jealousy in December 2019.

Incidents  led to  ban on deployment of new Filipino workers to Kuwait in February 2018.

However, after years of negotiations,  ban was eventually lifted in May 2018, allowing Filipinos to return to work in Kuwait.
