There's also some uncertainty of the way ahead in the case of the two foreigners killed in Roaring Creek, 25 year old Phillipina Alry Rose Sardido and 63 year old David Lowel Reichel. Both were found dead near the roaring Creek River - she on Saturday, he on Monday. Police believe a pair of teenagers from the area set out to rob her because they saw her using a cell phone. But that's pretty much all they got in this senseless crime. They apparently struck her on the head and chopped him, and both fell to their death in the river. But a post mortem says she died from asphyxia due to drowning - police believe she fell or was thrown into the river after being hit. That circumstance makes a murder charge a little complicated - since she didn't die directly as a consequence of blunt force trauma. Again, the DPP is being asked for advice.
In the case of her companion, Reichel's body was observed with a large cut wound to the center of his back. Three more large cut wounds was observed to the right side of face and head and one in the center of the head.
Police believe the teenaged suspects - who are in custody - may have also had their eyes on the Toyota Tacoma which Reichel drove.
The motive for the crime was believed to have been robbery, but the thieves likely only got away with Sardido's pink purse.
