The Department of Foreign Affairs on Thursday condemned the death of a newly-wed Filipina in Slovenia who was allegedly murdered by her husband.

In a statement, the department said it is working with Slovenian authorities, through the Philippine Embassy in Vienna, Austria for the repatriation to Manila of the remains of Marvil Facturan Kocjancic.

“The Philippine government condemns the tragic incident that caused the demise of a Filipino citizen in Slovenia and expresses its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family here in the Philippines,” the DFA said.

It said it is now working for the repatriation of Facturan Kocjancic’s remains to Manila at the soonest possible time.

“The Philippine Embassy in Vienna, in collaboration with the Department of Foreign Affairs, and other related agencies, is working with Slovenian authorities for the immediate shipment of her remains to the Philippines upon completion of all requisite forensic processes,” the DFA added.

On Wednesday, the DFA said the suspect behind the killing of the 27-year old Filipina is already in the custody of the authorities.

She was reportedly killed by her husband, Mitja Kocjancic, during a holiday in the resort town of Bled, Slovenia last December 29.

Aside from the embassy in Vienna, the DFA said the Philippine Honorary Consul in Bratislava is also coordinating with Slovenian authorities in the investigation of the case.
