ILOILO CITY – A female Slovakian tourist was found dead at world-famous Boracay Island on March 12.
The Police Regional Office-6 has ordered a deeper probe on the death of Michaela Mickova.
“We will leave no stone unturned until the perpetrators of the heinous crime against Michaela Mickova have been brought to justice,” said Police Brig. Gen. Jack Wanky, PRO-6 director, in a statement on Thursday, March 13.
The 23-year-old Mickova was found dead two days after she was initially declared missing on March 10.
Her half-naked body was discovered in an abandoned chapel in Sitio Pinaungon, Barangay Balabag.
Initial investigation said the victim was stabbed in the stomach.
“We ask the community to extend full cooperation to our investigators and to say a prayer for Michaela Mickova and her family,” said Wanky, who inspected the crime scene.
“It is our foremost priority and goal to deliver justice to the family and loved ones of Michaela Mickova – a beloved daughter, a friend to many, and a young woman who has a passion for life,” added Wanky.
The Slovakian arrived in Boracay last March 1 and attended the wedding of her Filipina friend.
