MANILA (AFP): A Japanese tourist was stabbed dead inside his
rented apartment in Manila, police said yesterday.

Iwamoto Tomoyo, 58, of Aichi prefecture in central Japan, was
found dead on Saturday in the bathroom of an apartment in
Manila's Santa Ana district, Police Officer Ronald Hernandez
said.

Tomoyo had been stabbed 10 times and also possibly strangled,
Hernandez added. Robbery was suspected as the apartment was in
disarray, but police were also investigating the possible
involvement of Tomoyo's Filipina girlfriend in the killing.
