Best Posts in Thread: American national found burned in car Cebu

That comment should have raised the investigators eyebrows a bit. That superstitious nonsense might work on the general public but a good investigator should have bumped her up the list of potential suspects for admitting she had an idea that it was going to happen before it did. I would be curious if she had an appointment with the dentist prior to that dream.....perhaps she is dreaming of appointments that were previously made.

 

Nobody should lose their life over a loan they didn't pay back but I think people need to understand where they are and what the consequences can be if you like to borrow money and not pay it back. There are a LOT of people here that borrow money with absolutely no intentions of ever paying it back.....and it's not just Filipinos. In fact I've had far more expats ask to borrow money than locals....and most of the time it took a whole lot of nagging and phone calls to get just the initial loan back, forget about any interest or even a "thanks". I understand the Australians frustrations but he (allegedly) took it way to far.

 

Yeah. That's why I added the "alleged" part. I'm curious, if the police could not identify if the body was male or female how is it that the wife was able to positively identify it as her husband? I didn't see the part about the "dream" the wife had. Very suspicious.

 

A massive manhunt on the Australian national who was tagged as responsible for the death of a man inside a Toyota RAV 4 vehicle, which had been set on fire on Thursday afternoon in Busay, Cebu City.

Senior Insp. Elisandro Quijano, chief of the Cebu City Police Office Homicide Section, said Craeg Ratcliff, 42, an Australian national who lived in Calatrava, Negros Occidental was tagged as the suspect in the killing of the man inside the burnt vehicle.

The victim was initially identified as Ratcliff’s friend Timothy Wilson, 60, a retired US Navy personnel. Wilson’s wife, Jocelyn, claimed that Wilson was the man found inside the burnt vehicle.

Firefighters found the body American national after putting out the flames that engulfed a vehicle in Sitio Lower Busay in Barangay Busay, Cebu City Thursday afternoon.

Busay Barangay Councilor Eliodoro “Yody” Sanchez confirmed that Timothy Wilson, who lived in Toledo City, was the man found inside the vehicle.

Timothy was identified by his wife Joy, who went to the Busay Barangay Hall last night after hearing reports about a human body found inside a burned car in the hillyland.

Busay Councilor Kevin Sanchez believes the vehicle, reportedly a gray Toyota RAV 4 model, was set on fire.

“Klaro, tataw kaayo gituyo (It’s very clear the fire was intentional),” he said in a radio dyLA report.

The Cebu City Fire Station received the alarm at 3:02 p.m. and put out the flames 10 minutes later.

At the fire scene yesterday, SPO2 Rommel Bancog of the Cebu City Police Office’s Homicide Section could not determine if the body was male or female because it was burned beyond recognition. The police will have the body undergo an autopsy today, Friday.

But Yody Sanchez posted on his Facebook account past 10 o’clock last night that the passenger has been identified and a suspect has been named.

The suspect is an Australian friend who owed Wilson money.
