Normal for all murders in the Philippines, local and expat. I know you didn't suggest this but it isn't some conspiracy against foreigners, it is just how things work in the 3rd world where the police don't have the resources to complete a proper investigation and where justice is still largely dished out through extrajudicial means and then pushed under the rug.
The average expat generally isn't going have any sort of justice carried out for them since they don't have that clan support that the locals do. (Even if you are married you are not going to be a full member of the clan. If any revenge is taken out on your behalf it is likely only for the loss of monetary resources the clan suffered from your demise.) This is the reality of living in a 3rd world clan based society. If you can't accept that you should probably look elsewhere.

You said that "nothing" had been done. Obviously something was done since this thread was started. The 4 suspects are likely sitting in prison waiting for their day in court. The percentage of people sitting in prisons that haven't been convicted of the crime they are accused of is around 70%. These guys likely aren't running around free. I can't say for certain but the chances seem quite high as they, given the nature of their crime, seem like d*psh*ts from poor families that can't afford to post bail. With many crimes you can serve the entire sentence without ever being convicted while you wait on your court date.- Informative x 4

On another paper, it states he was shot twice in the back and once in the butt. Not going to look for the link neither.

The Medulla Oblongata is in your head, in the back, just at the top of the neck. That part of the brain controls the heart, lungs and other functions that don't require conscious thought. Bullet to that organ and the heart stops immediately.
No heart pumping means no bleeding.- Agree x 1
