The Philippine ambassador to Austria stated that the government is working on ensuring a case will be filed against the Slovenian man accused of killing his Filipina wife, Marvil Facturan.

Facturan's remains arrived in Cebu on Saturday and were received by her mother in Negros Oriental.

Slovenian authorities are completing an autopsy report to send to court, indicating that they plan to file a case against the suspect.
