Suspect in Philippines killings of Australians detained

A suspect in the killings of two Australians and their ********* companion last week at a hotel in a popular resort city south of the Philippine capital has surrendered, officials say.

The bodies of the victims, whose hands and feet were tied, were found sprawled on the floor in a room at the Lake Hotel in Tagaytay city a week ago.

Police at the time said it was a rare heinous ****** in a tourism destination that is largely known for a scenic volcano nestled amid a lake, abundant tropical fruits and the hospitality of its people.

Tagaytay police chief Charles Daven Capagcuan told the Associated Press that the breakthrough in the week-old case came when the suspect was identified by at least three hotel employees based on his image that was captured by security cameras showing a part of his masked face.

The identification of the suspect eventually led to his home province of Batangas near Tagaytay where he decided to surrender, Capagcuan said.
