Kalibo, Aklan- A 40 years old British national were indicted for murder at the Aklan Provincial Prosecutors Office here on the death of his taiwanese wife over jealousy in a resort in Boracay Island Friday last week.

In an interview, PO1 Edward Bolivar said that despite the admitance of the suspect Carl Andrew Foster he were still to face trial of murder in court after Provincial Prosecutor Ronaldo B. Ingente approved his murder charges docketed under IS number 07-6036 monday.

Foster surrendered to the Boracay police after he strangled to death his 43 years old Fu Chia Ning at around past 1:00 am Friday because of jealousy when the victim reportedly greeted a fellow Taiwanese national during the day.

"At 2 pm (Friday), a British envoy arrived in the resort island and provided him grocery items. After a while, he went to comfort room and tried to hang himself wanting to commit suicide using a yellow cord given to him by the British envoy along with the grocery items," Bolivar said.

When Foster arrived at the Prosecutors Office at 11 a.m. he immediately asked for food as he was hunger. After a notification with the prosecutor, the Boracay police turned him over to th Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) to present to him the evidence gathered at the crime scene.

Foster shuns away photos of the local media covering the inquest.

After the CIDG, the group went back to the prosecutor and then proceeded to the Provincial Attorney's Office at the desk of Atty. Chris Gonzales where he was briefed of his basic rights and privileges.

They then went back to the prosecutors office and met with Ingente which in turn recommended for the filing of a murder case in court.

Bolivar said that they then turned over Foster at the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMO) at Barangay Nalook, Kalibo where he will be imprisoned.
