MANILA, Philippines - A 60-year-old Belgian national shot and killed his Filipina wife before committing suicide in Iguig, Cagayan Tuesday night, police said.

Constant Van Girt was overheard having a heated argument with his 37-year-old wife Rosaly minutes before shooting her with a 9-mm pistol. Van Giert then turned the gun on himself, the police said.

Police said they were investigating what triggered the argument, which witnesses said occurred after the wife received a mysterious telephone call.  – Charlie Lagasca
