Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 27) — The remains of slain overseas Filipino worker (OFW) in Kuwait Jullebee Ranara have been repatriated.
Ranara’s body arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Friday night.
Her body – burned and dumped in the desert – was discovered last week.
The suspect – her employer’s 17-year-old son – is already under police custody.
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) said the victim previously told her mother that she was being abused by her employer’s “cruel” son.
The DMW added that it has prohibited Ranara’s employer from hiring other Filipino workers.
The Department of Foreign Affairs said it continues to coordinate with Kuwaiti authorities for the early resolution of Ranara’s case.
