DFA condemns killing of Filipina bride in Slovenia
The Department of Foreign Affairs condemned the killing of Filipina woman Marvil Facturan-Kocjančič in Slovenia on Thursday.
According to the DFA, Facturan was allegedly stabbed to death by her husband Mitja Kocjancic shortly after their wedding and while they were on a holiday vacation in Bled last year.
Facturan's mother, Vilma, said her daughter met and married Kocjančic online; they wed in July 2024 and Marvil moved to Slovenia in December.
The Philippine Embassy in Vienna is collaborating with Slovenian authorities for the immediate repatriation of Facturan’s remains after forensic processes are completed.
Facturan's mother expressed a desire for justice, stating that her daughter's husband should face legal consequences beyond his current placement in a mental institution.
