00:0011 OFWs were found dead in Kuwait due to suffocation.
00:06There are reports that the bodies were taken home, but it was not the 11 OFWs, but their companion, Nepali.
00:13Here is my first news.
00:15Why? Why?
00:26After a long discussion between the brothers, the body from Kuwait arrived with the name of their mother, Jenny Alvarado.
00:35But it seems that they were divided, because when the body was opened in the funerary, where one of the bodies was supposed to be buried in the autopsy lab.
00:43This is my mother. This is my mother.
00:48When the face was opened, we were very surprised that it was not our mother.
00:53They asked the Department of Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo Kakdak to inform Jenny's family about what happened.
00:59As it is, I take full responsibility because I was the one who said that Jenny was going home early, which might have caused the mistake.
01:09But that said, we are also carefully studying legally the matter on whether there are liabilities involved with respect to the shipping of the human remains.
01:21The 11 ofWs were found dead in Kuwait due to suffocation.
01:29According to the victim's family, their mother's employer told them that Jenny died due to suffocation in the fire of the funeral.
01:37But if this is the cause of death of Jenny and her companions, why are there so many injuries and bruises of the Nepali who went home?
01:45Her nails were removed. And in the video, her hand was tied, which is, she has blood, which is still whole.
01:52Then, you can see that her neck is really violet.
01:57It's like, you can't imagine if she was stabbed, beaten, or what.
02:01Then, on her feet, you can also see the bruises of the rope.
02:07I can't believe that she died due to suffocation.
02:11The family and the group of witnesses, or the DHs in the middle of the island,
02:16suspected that there was foul play in the death of Jenny and her other companions.
02:20That's why they are calling on the government to investigate the incident more thoroughly,
02:24to answer the charges, and to give justice to the victims.
02:29It's painful for me that she died.
02:34When we got home, we had a get-together.
02:37Then, it turned out that our get-together was over,
02:41that we couldn't be with her anymore, that she was lying on the floor.
02:50It's painful for us. We can't accept that this will happen.
02:56She's like my own daughter.
03:00She's my eldest daughter.
03:02Jenny Rito arrived in the country on Thursday.
03:06We have discussed the matter with them thoroughly and explained,
03:10and also assured them of getting the police reports and the autopsy results.
03:16Because that's what we're waiting for.
03:19Before we can investigate, whether or not we will pursue claims in relation to Jenny's death.
03:26This is the first news. Mariz Umali for GMA Integrated News.
03:49Thanks for watching.
