Bruce Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 Out on Samar, there is a guy I was introduced to as a Canadian, but actually he is German / Nordic (?) but worked for many years in Canada before he retired to Samar. So the locals assumed he was a Canadian. He is not a popular guy. He has 'cases' against his neighbors and they have 'cases' against him. Lots of local drama in his area. He has a sign on his property wall NO VISITORS and has banned his wife's family from coming around.Therefore his wife must leave to see her family, so I can see there being agreed upon situations where the wife may leave for a period of time. I know one forum member whose wife visits her family without him as his mountain walking days are gone. Never heard him make an issue of it nor has he seemd to be concerned about his well being whilst she is gone. I have never kept a woman on a short leash so I do not really see a hidden 'hit' done by the wife here. Maybe by the hired help or prior hired help's extended family who know he kept cash. Maybe he WAS supposed to travel with the wife but he got sick and decided to stay at home and was killed when he confronted the intruders.I 'could' be in Phils right now, but with xmas and the gift expectations, I decided to delay returning until after the holidays. So there are reasons not to travel with the wife at xmas.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenn Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) Sorry, I guess that I am saying that MY wife would not want to leave my side.No need to be sorry for anything,I just think different situations result in different out comes and we all live our lives differently.For example a well known member here at times stayed in CDO while his wife visited family in the province, if he was found dead in his hotel would we all say it was his wife or family did it?Is there any reason why his wife could not be on her own for a few days? I know she would rather be with her husband but circumstances sometimes mean that its not possible so I go back to a disabled dead guy,maybe it was just part of life to be apart from his wife for one day a year.Yes, true it may not have been his wife and she may have known nothing about it. I made a lot of assumptions here, $ituations are different everywhere, with different people. $hit can happen and it could happen at anytime, does not mean the better half is involved. Could most likely 99% mean someone that knew $omething, was involved in $omeway. Maybe this is not a random thing is all that I am saying. It only takes $omeone that knows $omeone that knows $omeone else that is in a desperate $ituation. Edited December 25, 2011 by kenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollygoodfellow Posted December 25, 2011 Author Posted December 25, 2011 Also it could be a normal robbery where someone thought or expected there to be no one home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ANYONE was going to be killed by his wife, he would have been my choice! A lesser woman would have killed him years ago. Hehehehehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there was a time a couple of years ago she wanted to see her family on the west coast of Cebu and since I was sick, it was extremely hot at that time and they do not have aircon there, I stayed in our condo in Cebu City and she was escorted by some nieces and nephews that I know because I prefer she have someone with her for her safety. I trust my wife fully and she trusts me, so I have no problem if she wants to spend a week with her family and she has no problem if I want to go out with friends because we both know neither of us would ever cheat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Lee Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 IMO and from all I read over the years, the number one cause of expat deaths is related in one way or another to money, after that it can be many things including how people treat those they meet, to how they deal with their wife g/f's family. Large amounts of money on hand such as in this case can get a person killed in a country where the average person makes so little. Often what many of us do not realize is that we stand out, so when going to the bank or the ATM machine we may be watched and even more so if in a smaller area where there are less of us, so best to pay most bills with checks and have the least amount of cash around the house as possible and not be known to carry a lot of cash.I think Tom is probably correct on this one, they might have heard the family would be gone, or that the wife would be gone and did not care if they had to kill the expat to get what they wanted. Others may argue but living either among a good family, so they can watch your back, or in a condo or gated community will usually be the safest, if a person is going to live way above others around them. One more reason I like a condo or would be happy to have a home like Art has if we were to wish to live in country full time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am way ahead of you as I posted a few posts ago that it may have been he was sick and home and the intruders thought the place was empty. I do not think his wife had anything to do with it as of yet.However, the other wife I was talking about, I see her frequently and always comment on her NOT killing her husband..... She has the patience of a saint....And for the record... Tom, I am strange. I don't see it, but enough people have told me the same thing, so I guess it must be true.
