2 Swiss citizens killed in Misamis Oriental By JB R. Deveza | Philippine Daily Inquirer October 6th, 2014 CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Philippines—Two Swiss nationals were shot and killed by at least two assailants Sunday afternoon at a beach resort in nearby Opol town, police said. The victims, Robert Erich Loaber, 67, and Balthazar Johann Erni, 78, were on their way out of the B. Yasay beach resort when they were attacked. Loaber sustained a gunshot wound in the cheek and another in the back of his head, while Erni was hit in the forehead and back. Investigators found six .45-caliber bullet casings and one slug at the scene. Criminal gangs are known to operate in the southern Philippines, prompting China last month to warn its citizens against travel to the area. With a report from Agence France-Presse Missing Swiss student found dead By Nancy C. Carvajal | Philippine Daily Inquirer January 3, 2012 The 24-year-old Swiss student who was reported missing three months ago was found in a morgue in Antipolo City with a gunshot wound, a police official said Tuesday. Alex Reich, a student of English language in a school in Cubao, Quezon City, had been the subject of an intensive police search that involved several local police units, Zurich police and the Interpol. Officer on case, Senior Police Officer 3 Ding Pascu, said that according to the Antipolo police, they found out about the case of the missing foreigner through the dedicated website that was installed to help in the search of Reich. Pascu said the Antipolo police should have reported the incident of finding the body last September to the National Capital Region Police Office, particularly since it involved a foreign national. “It’s standard procedure.”
