Robbers kill woman for refusing to give up bag

MANILA, Philippines - A woman was shot three times by motorcycle-riding robbers when she refused to give up her handbag over the weekend in Parañaque City.

The victim has yet to be identified but is estimated to be around 40 to 45 years old, about five feet tall, and wearing denim jeans and a black blouse.
