DFA prepares repatriation of Filipina migrant murdered in Slovenia
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) is preparing to repatriate the remains of Marvil Facturan, a Filipina migrant who was allegedly murdered by her husband in Slovenia.
Philippine Embassy officials in Vienna are coordinating with Slovenian authorities for the repatriation and seeking justice for Facturan's family.
The DFA condemned the incident and offered condolences to Facturan's bereaved family in the Philippines.
Facturan was reportedly killed on December 29 during a vacation in Bled, Slovenia, after an argument that led to multiple stab wounds. Her husband, Mitja Kocjančič, is currently under custody for mental health recovery.
DFA Undersecretary Eduardo De Vega assured that repatriation could happen this week and the DFA would extend necessary assistance to Facturan's family as an overseas Filipino, including financial aid for her bereaved family.
The Commission on Filipinos Overseas condemned domestic violence and expressed solidarity with Facturan's family.
