A YOUNG woman, the mother of a 3-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy, was one of three persons shot dead in Valencia, Negros Oriental in the evening of February 8. Karen had gone to the local police station to fetch Tim Moerch, her estranged husband. The 45-year-old Dane had been arrested shortly before 2 a.m. the day before on suspicion of having committed murder. Moerch and Maila Ozoa Cagas, 40, reported to be his live-in partner, were both released from detention on orders of the provincial prosecutor: the arrests were invalid.
Moerch and Cagas went their separate ways upon leaving the police station. But not long after, both were shot dead. Karen was collateral damage.
