Probe urged on case of Pinay burned to death in Johor

MANILA - The Philippine Embassy in Malaysia and Vice President Jejomar Binay have called on a full probe into the death of a Filipina in Johor Bahru in Malaysia last June 2.

“The Embassy, through its Police Attaché, has asked Malaysian police authorities for a full investigation of the tragic incident, particularly how and why Ms. [Ruby Lloren] was ‘trapped’ inside the burning house,” the embassy said in a statement.
Lloren’s Malaysian husband said a robber broke in and burned the house down while he was away.
The Filipina’s family alleged, however, that autopsy results showed traces of poison in her system.
Lloren, who has a nine-year-old child, lived in Malaysia for over seven years.
In a separate press release, Binay said: "I urge our embassy in Kuala Lumpur to exhaust all means necessary to help shed light on the death of our kababayan and in the process, bring justice to her family.”
"I am saddened and gravely concerned by her death and a call for an immediate and impartial probe is called for," he added.
