To all,

Martin Williams was not the only one murdered in Bohol 3 years ago an old german from Booy, 2 years ago the german couple in Baclayon ,20 years ago our canadian friend Steve and many many more.What are the motives?

Is he the guy who is a retired Police Officer from Canada who own a house in Tawala with a poultry farm. Sold his old house and built at another one near Tecson Beach.

Because I know him, He has red owner jeep. Used come to Nong Boy Ligtas talyer for the repair of his jeep. He supply dressed chicken at my restaurant Cafe Camille. Thats was twenty years ago 1990s.

After reading about the arrests, i do hope the investigation does not end here. There is so much more to this than meets the eye and i hope and pray that the people arrested will now tell the truth to who is really behind it all. . There is so much more sinister and deep rooted, i hope the police get all of his wifes text messages she sent martin over the last few months which i know included some death threats and also only started once she got her british visa refused.. . Martin was befriened by his perpertrators and lured to his death, its all so obvious to everyone and we all know what we believe, lets just hope the case does not close here and true justice is served. .

This Sunday edition of the Bohol Standard which included a write up of an interveiw from the alledged murderer himself inside of his Jailcell at Tagbilaran City police.

I will just type a partail of what was said in the write up as far as latest happenings are concerned.

The Bohol Standard....

"martin was supposed to attend a court hearing last Friday befor the Regional Trial Court, Branch 4, for the hearing of the permanent rotection order filed by his wife.

However a day before the hearing, Atty. Gertrude Ester Biliran filed a motion to withdraw as counsel with-out any reason given and the wife did not appear also. The following day, after Martin Williams was murdererd , his wife Margie Gamayot entered their house in Panglao, Bohol which has been closed for quite a-time since Martin Williams did not feel secure after the shooting incident at his bar last January 11, 2009 and because he was always threatend through text messages.
An attempt of murder case was filed by Martin Williams against Junrey Polinosa of Pagadian City, the alleged hired killer of Martin William's.

Martin was in good spirit a week before he died in a conversation he had with me, His exact words were (I am winning } He new he would not have been found guilty of rape, one reason being one of the females worked for him after the so called rape incident , I ask you would any female work for the man who raped her , She was also a freind of his ASTRANGED wife . He also told me he would be divorced soon , which im lead to believe should of came through this week It makes my blood boil to also know his wife moved into his house the day after his death , his pick up car has been sold and his wifes father is ridding his Honder 200moter bike . How quickly they moved into his house and took his posesions when they all are ment to live on another island ( latte ),He wasnt even cold , There must be justice, please if the Philipieno officals dont act this will happen again . I know there are many many lovely philipienos.

We do not have investigation protocol. His property should be wrapped with "police line do not cross" while the case is under investigation. No one should be allowed to touch anything inside Martin's house, even his wife.

Since there is no state prosecutor system in the Philippines, someone should stand on behalf of Marten as his next of kin and file a court case so that suspects/masterminds could be arrested, detained and investigated.

If nobody is bold enough to stand for Martin, then criminals will walk freely.

i hope this murder incident is just an isolated case as the boholano people i know are peace loving citizens.

and i do hope, ma'am, that you reconsider your decision to pull out your investment in bohol.

pnp, what is really going on in bohol now? is this an isolated case or "i" am the isolated case here? thanks

with the capture of the suspect and securing few evidences, i have no doubt there's going to be a good break as regards to this case, crusader. the murder has tarnished the image of our province. our local government knows fully well the extent of the damage that this kind of savagery done to our local tourism and security. all of us here are keeping our fingers crossed that justice will be done. thanks for you interest in investing to our lovely province. you may have pulled the plug off, still we're hoping the interest will soar again soon.

I have been reading this story with much interest, as i am also a wealthy person who was planning on buliding a hotel near to the new airport thats planned to be built in bohol. After many days contemplating i have decided against any investment in the area. We feel safe in most counties around the world we abide by the laws, but there a few people in this county who think they are above the law and take it into ther own hands. Its so obvious the real killers of martin think they can get away with this, it is an insult to your counrty and to your government. If they are allowed to get away with this how is anyone ment to feel safe. Something must be done and the laws changed to protect people. who want to invest there money there. MY condolances to martins family and friends. x

Let's restore perspective in this case.

It's too bad people are cancelling reservations and calling off investment plans in Bohol because of this incident. I respect the feelings of those who know Martin personally. But let's give chance for the legal system in the Philippines to run its course before we make conclusions.

Meanwhile, the rest of us who have no personal connection to Martin but are just as shocked--as all peace-loving Boholanos should be--should add our voice in prodding the authorities towards the swift resolution of the case. But please, let us not blow this incident beyond reasonable proportion.

Let me invite those who are considering alternative holiday destinations or investment locations, due to this unfortunate incident, to google under News comparable options. See what percentage of news today in these places are related to crime, conflict, disaster and negative events in general.

Just check out the first page of the google news results today and see if our findings agree:

Chiang Mai--out of 20 news items, 8 are related to crime, conflict, unrest, environmental problem, etc

Bali--out of 21 news items, 9 are related to crime, conflict, unrest, terrorism, environmental problem, etc.

Maldives--out of 24 news items, 5 are related to crime, conflict, unrest, environmental problem, etc

Cebu--out of 21 news items, 10 are related to crime, accident, conflict, unrest, etc.

Bohol--out of 20 news items, 0 are related to crime, accident, conflict, unrest, etc. (By the way, I'm not sure if this is negative news For sterner bite, anti-rabies workers get paralegal training. Anyway, let's just give 1 point away.)

Sorry if I miss the mark by 1 to 5 points, but the internet is constantly updated and numbers can change anytime.

So friends, thanks for considering Bohol and deciding it's not the best place for you. I am sure you'll find your place in the sun.

By the way, just one last piece of unsolicited advice, please don't sink your money in Maldives, because this place is sinking fast into the Indian Ocean. Happy trip, have fun!

Exactly one week ago at this time Martins life was taken away from him, our times spent together with him were nice ones as he was fun smart educated and had a good head on his shoulders.
He was not a snob about anything just a man who wanted to settle here with his wife. I have heard from reliabe sources including Martin that his life was already uncompfortable before he got it. The baby daughter of Martin and his wife holds a british passport

As for your news gathering Ben- I do recal many things happening thing but things also get white washed as well.

It happens many times here. We have many unsolved murder cases and robbery cases here.

I am here in the media and make regular check ups at the station just to see how lami the blotter can be.

I have to agree with what was said earlier about the right justice prevailing. I agree for everyones safety sake that we wait for the justice to prevail and one of Martins family should come here and claim what is they'res. and assist in the investigation into Martins killer. The motive as we kknow Martin would not invite hoodlums and young ones to eat and drink with him.
Martin had class and that is not his style to invite hoodlums to join him at the table.

How many of Martins freinds in here are hoodlum type? I do not recall any of his freinds being like the alleged murderer type of person.

Martins freinds that I have met through out have they're lives together and are pretty darn sweet many of his freinds have been here to visit him off and on Martin must have been a super nice person for his freinds to want to visit him so many miles away,

My email and cell fone are always on anytime of the day.

I first met Martin in 1994 while working at Vauxhallâ€™s and from that time on we became good friends. In this time My Wife and I were introduced to his 1st wife and welcomed to his home in Heswall. Several times Martin and I would enjoy going for a drink and socialising, we also had the same hobby interest of jet skiing. We always had a good laugh at work and he had lots of friends at his workplace. I will always remember Martin as a joker who was always laughing and winding other people up. He was from my point of view honest and trustworthy.

I have spoken to Steve on the telephone and asked to be updated.

I was very shocked and saddened on Saturday to learn of Martinâ€™s death, my thoughts are with his Family at this terrible time.

Hereâ€™s what I think in my opinion,

The Bohol Chronicle should never have published the photograph on the internet of Martinâ€™s lifeless body, firstly it is so undignified the poor man must have suffered enough, secondly his parents do not need to see their poor son in that condition and finally this picture says to me, if you go against us (locals) then this is what will happen. This kind of media would not be tolerated in Great Britain as to protect the Family from shocking images.

Ian, Wallasey.

This mentality must change. Our media is quite premitive still. Any Filipino reporter thinks the more gruesome is thier take, the more professional they are.

Such disturbing pictures must only be shown inside a court house. Besides the photos of the body is the greatest evidence that will be used during the court proceedings. Hence, this must be kept confidential as you are exposing vital marks & position in the victims body that may be used by the other party to twist the whole story.

Objecting to criticisms this murder demonstrates the breakdown of peace and order in the city, Mayor Dan Lim in the latest issue of Bohol Sunday Post speaks on this case:

Mayor Dan Lim said that contrary to what his critics would like the public to believe, the killing had little to do with a breakdown of peace and order.

"These types of crimes are a consequence of a loose lifestyle. It can happen to any place and should not be an indication of the peace and order situation in the city," he added.

Lim said the swift arrest of the suspects showed the city police force is on top of the situation and that proves that those who commit crimes in the city will eventually be arrested.

The mayor added that there has been a significant break in the investigation on the killing of Victor Taray, the owned of Via Bohol, but declined to elaborate saying this might compromise the follow-up operations.

"The important thing is that we can assure our people that we are doing everything to maintain peace and order in our city," he added.

Lim called on those who might have vital information on the killing saying that all tips will be treated with utmost confidentiality.

"If you want the city to be peaceful, let us all contribute by sharing information that might lead to the arrest of criminals and lawless elements," he added.

Last week when the murderer had already confessed to the stabbing I had put myself in the investigating room with Investigator Chan.

He seemed like a pleasant man and was happy the one who did the physicall aspect of the crime was in custody. I was also in the room when he told me about the alleged murderers accomplice Borja, and had instructed his men to go to Sierra Boulinas and et her.

I was showing Chan messages I received about the threats sent and being done to Martin and how he was feeling during my time when I was a reporter for this event, Investigator Chan told me that it was my right to think what I wanted and that they already have the murderer. He was not interested to look and read for himself.

Not an iota of an open mind being that he is an investigator.

Martin I will repeat again would never ever invite people such as hoodlums to sit with him he was better than that and why is it when I interveiwed the Alleged murderer he described Martin as snobbish before he stabbed him?

But the alleged murderer described Martin as kind and having good conversation while eating and drinking at his table at Bojols?

Could it be this is a story and he was being followed and knew he was alone and went after him after the Mansasa?

The alleged murderer told me in the interveie that Martin invited them down to Mansasa where he had checked in earlier after dropping off his witness at the peir I should have been with Martin at Bojols like I normally was so he could talk to someone descent and not have been set up.

A week prior to his murder I was eating a snack near to Bojol's and two girls and a may minister were also taking a snack at the table beside me. Martin had stopped to give me a bit of news and the two girls sat there silent and listening.

When he went away the girls asked told me they knew him because his wife had let them into the house before in Panglao and the girls said he is a rapist. I asked Martin later about his not recognizing the girls that night and then repeated what they said and he said "You see what I mean it is being consired because they are freinds of my wife not me."

There are cases pending aainst certain persons behind the shooting incident/alldged poisoning attempt both intended at Martins bar last Jan. The prosecutor told me they will still go on with that case even though the man who the hired assination was after is already dead. (mission accomplished) The court has his name already according to the prosecutor here and afidavits are signed.

This is all public knowledge in the court system.

Atty. Lim has called me this morning and informed me that the family of Martin needs to get in touch with him and discuss matters regarding Martin, and that the British consuulate in Manila would like to know about the plans of Martins true family in England.

Lets me realistic about letting Dan Lim know about tips and leads If I treid to talk to Mayor Dan Lim he was shoo me away like a bumble bee regarding this case.
It is just a tell people what they want to hear that he wants to solve this case. By now he knows my reports and my association into being a freind of Martin's,

Why has he not come to me if he is so interested to solve this case?

Why has the wife not gone to the media like most wifes and ask for help as in her side of the story?
She was just too fast to move into the house after it was locked up for sometime because Martin was not compfortable to sat in the house in Panglao after all the attempts on his life and the threats coming into his phone that were all saved coming from no other then his beloved***! Those messages Martin shown to all of us his real freinds who were and still are concerned about him.

Why has the police overlooked this matter?

I hear Martin's wife is related to a Mayor and a cheif of policie here somewhere? could Martins family plse enlighten the readers heremore about that little detail?

Maybe a conspiracy to put up another story to hide the real master mind behind the murder of Martin Williams.

Sunday post only ran their pathetic nasty write up regarding Martin as he wants to apease the city mayor that it was a dirty filthy foreigner who was having a loose life?

Really Boy Guing? You do not know Martin Williams then do you?

He did not have a loose life that is all lies/and rumor's just to make the newspaper sell.

To try and make it look like Martin was askiing for it and justify for what the Filipinos have done.

Hi
in this forum Martin is nearly beeing declared a saint, im not saying hes not a saint. but sometimes not even the people close to you, really know you. No one off Ted Bundys friends or relatives could even imagine Ted doing something like he did, I am not meaning that Martin was a psycopat running around raping and killing young women but it just showes that u can actually know somebody your whole life and he can still have dark secrets that not even the best friend knows about. However the case is he doesnt deserve to get murdered, so i really hope justice will prevail.

I first met Martin in 1994 while working at Vauxhallâ€™s and from that time on we became good friends. In this time My Wife and I were introduced to his 1st wife and welcomed to his home in Heswall. Several times Martin and I would enjoy going for a drink and socialising, we also had the same hobby interest of jet skiing. We always had a good laugh at work and he had lots of friends at his workplace. I will always remember Martin as a joker who was always laughing and winding other people up. He was from my point of view honest and trustworthy.

I have spoken to Steve on the telephone and asked to be updated.

I was very shocked and saddened on Saturday to learn of Martinâ€™s death, my thoughts are with his Family at this terrible time.

Hereâ€™s what I think in my opinion,

The Bohol Chronicle should never have published the photograph on the internet of Martinâ€™s lifeless body, firstly it is so undignified the poor man must have suffered enough, secondly his parents do not need to see their poor son in that condition and finally this picture says to me, if you go against us (locals) then this is what will happen. This kind of media would not be tolerated in Great Britain as to protect the Family from shocking images.

Ian, Wallasey.

Greetings Ian,

Yes I do agree with you that the Bohol Chronicle shouldn't have posted the picture of Martin's lifeless body on the front page. Such a picture is too graphic and should have been used as evidence for the prosecutor.

But the way things are handled in the Philippines is a little different from say here in the 'States or over there in the UK.

I just do hope they change their way of handling reports. For decency towards the victim and the family.

We have Martin and his family in our prayers.
The Lord Jesus Christ grant mercy and pardon to the soul of Martin.
And that justice will be given.

This we ask in Christ's Name,
Amen.

Sincerest prayers for the Martinâ€™s family and friends.

As a foreigner with aspirations for investments on Bohol this case has several concerns: Never become â€œmore valuable dead than aliveâ€.
Showing great wealth in country where marital contracts are in dispute may not be wise.
The police are not trusted fundamentally.
This is a case of contract killing for gain and not one of overall societal safety.
The excepted and expected practice of overcharging foreigners carries deeper problems.
If foreigners are viewed as excepted targets crime at all levels will continue and prosper.
I welcome your input and in no way mean to show disrespect in this drastic tail.

in the philippines, i believe that the police's jurisdiction ends when they caught the suspect. after which, the investigation will be handled by state prosecutors who will determine the existence of probable cause that the suspect in custody is the one who killed the victim. after the investigation conducted by the prosecutor, he will be the one to file a criminal case against the suspect before our court. the same prosecutor will be the one who will represent the state and the victim during the court hearings.

I would like to bring it to attention that steve and his company were at Martins Bar in Alona when the gun shots were fired and were intended for Martin.

They had already gone home by the time that I and Martin had our first interveiw. Tony another one of his freinds was with martin and I when Martin asked me where we could meet and he could keep me up to date on how he was feeling and what were the latest happenings with him as far as what Panglao police were doing to him and the the threats coming from a particular person in his telephone book.

There have been affidavits of witnesess already in the court waiting for raffle against Junrey Polinosa from Paadian City. the Gunman ((HITMAN) whose name was released in The Bohol Standard last week. The gun man was allegedly hired by his wife Margie Gamoyot according to witnesses who have filed already in the and the is pending for the time when it will be raffled in the court.

I have also heard from various people who have waited on Martin explaining that they were in shock when they found it was Martin who was the victim. They say he always greeted them and was so pleasant. He was here with his English freinds always or they had seen us drinking coffe together as well late into the night.
I question that guard untill now in mansasa was he paid to say what he said in saying that he has seen Martin checking in with Several girls?

One freind of mine had paid respects at the funeral home for Martin, he even went to the hotel room of Martin and sat in there thinking about how he remembered Martin.

He was able to talk with Martins wife at the funeral home for a few hours and she told him that she went to the jail cell of the alleged murderer the day of his arrest and how odd I find this as he the alleged told me he had never met or knew the wife of Martin?

I had seen him three days after the arrest with PNP Torrejos from the Tagbilaran City Police Station.

I am not yet clear or understand where his present remains lay at rest I heard Martins body was in a white casket and had been taken to rest in his house in Panglai one final time before she wanted to burry him in Victoria Memorial Park.

The British Embassy called Atty. lim Martins Atty. and asked him if he has notifeid Martins family yet? Atty told them that I have contacted Martins family and freinds and asked me to pass on the numbers of those who I have been in contact with.

Since I was a freind of Martin and was the one who started writing and reporting this incident back in Jan, 2009, the office of Atty. lim asked me to be the one to please email his freinds and family.

I also put up this blog up so if anyone reads it with any helpfull tips or information could further assist with this case. This Blog also serves as a memorial for Martin and his family and his freinds who love him very much.

Thank You, to everyone for supporting this blog with your positive and constructive words and thoughts and prayer's for Martin and his family.

Yesterday, I was not on line as there was a microsoft virus threat and did not want to take any chances.

The dead will be honored if we just allow the legal process to take its due course to determine the criminal liability and finally resolve this case.

The living--both those who have fond remembrances of Martin and those who are just genuinely concerned about this case--can speculate however we want to, but the dead is already with the One who sees everything.

So we just have to abide by the facts that the Bohol legal process, however flawed, can uncover about this case and let the truth stand in court.

Please bear with the few comments I have on what Martin's friends have posted here:

1) Naturally, police investigators have to go first and foremost by hard, physical evidence that are found directly at the crime site and provided by direct witnesses. Personal text messages, letters, etc. can also be examined if there are physical evidences that link them to the commission of the act and the motive thereof.

2) I don't find the accusations against the Filipina wife very fair at this point. Whatever their marital problems, I think there are no hard evidences yet that establish her involvement in this particular crime. I cannot say the same about the other attempts on Martin's life, as I am not privy to them. She may have the motive, perhaps an overwhelming one, but implementing that motive into an act is an entirely different story. Hence, it is certainly not fair to say it is odd the alleged culprit who is now in custody does not know nor have met Martin's wife. Don't even claim you're a reporter if you don't know the basic rule that the burden of proof to establish this connection lies in the accuser, not the accused. At least go check his wallet, bank account, mattress, and other possible cash stash before you can start making the connection.

3) "The Filipinos did this to Martin" is about as crude a generalization as saying "Foreigners bring this on themselves because of their loose lifestyle" (not my statement, but Mayor Dan Lim's). The victim is an individual and the culprit, his companion, and others possibly involved are also individuals. Personally, I will caution you against making friends with Filipinos who love to drink, joins you for beer uninvited, has a minor girl in tow, and invites you with the minor for a midnight tryst for whatever reason or price. But I can also recommend a hundred and one places for a foreigner to find decent Filipino friends. In the same way, I sometimes squirm at what a few male foreigners do with minor girls in public beaches but I am awed by the dedication of many more foreign missionaries serving poor children. In short, there are bad Filipinos and there are bad foreigners, but people of whatever nationality are generally good.

4) I did not know Martin until this tragic incident happened. And I read the papers, exchange information with my Bohol-based friends and relatives everyday. I am sure Martin is well-known by his family, friends and regular clients. But I am not so sure he is so well-known among so many people that the residents of Panglao island and Bohol, the police, the prosecutors, the courts, the hotel and restaurant staff have any stake or vested interest in hiding the truth. I frown on any hotel reception staff revealing the lifestyle pattern of a client, but I don't believe he has a reason or motive to lie about it.

I don't see why there should be a grand conspiracy to whitewash this case, as is being indirectly alleged. It has already unfairly damaged Bohol's reputation as a safe travel destination. If at all, Boholanos shiver at the thought of a murderer roaming freely in their midst. We are all for the search of truth and the swift resolution of this case.

Regarding number 3) I interveiwed one security guard working at Bojol's the place were the alleged murderer said that he and the girl had sat and had drinks with Martin are false according to the guard. Martin entered that establishment alone and ate at his own table.
He also went away on his motor alone. The family name of the guard I am withholding s as not to louse of the case.

In any opinion when making any statements about anything I find it best that you seen the incident or heard about it from those who were involved actively and as witnesses.

If you make an assumption of someone it is generally not advised if you do not know the person personally.

The people vote for mayor there fore the majority he represents is that not the way it works?

You vote for him that means you stand by him and his ideals and coneptions whether poor or precise as they maybe.

He is a leader of the community. Is he not and Filipinos like to follow the leader to avoid trouble or rukas or even follow the leader to avoid having people think bad about them.

Everyone knows what happens when they have exposed his not so good mayorial decisions.

Benelyn,

I appreciate your input and homework and you know and I know exactly how it works here.

What it should be is not.

Your country relies on an old beaurocratic internastional law as Juvenile Justice Law.

Your people can knowingly hire minor's to do your dirty work. It's truly pathetic in my eyes.

So far persons from other various counteries I have talked to are opposed to beaurocratic socailism international laws and many counteries have a way of treating and rehabilitating mionors who knowingly do heinnious crimes.

I an many others same as myself are very opposed to this law. You either start spending more time with kids if you are parents so that way they are less tempted to do crime here.
Sure your walking tall many of you in other countreis compfortable because you darn well know that if anything happens to you you are going to be treated in the right way as justice and law will handle either adults and minors who are doing things that are not good.
I am living in a country were the minors have an attitude that they can do what ever they want and knowngly know that they can get away with it.

How safe do you think people here feel knowing that the overall general attitude and behavior of minors are abusing this law.

I thinkk I have answered this very well.

Thank You!

Yes we know crime happens everywhere as well as murders not just single murders but murders in the masses.

Ben, you must also realize that the people in here replying are Martins family and there is more to it then may not being said.
Martins brothers, sisters and freinds grew up or worked with him back home. I am sure they know better then the rest of us.

I have also heard the Filipno chika chika that Martin was even gay? What? come on guys that's getting just stupid.

The chronicle printed the wrong news regarding the case last friday and it has caused pandamoniam amongst Filipine persons and makes them think bad of Martin.

The case last Friday was for Williams Vs Williams for a restraining order filed by his wife.

Not rape as mentioned by the chronicle.

I have told my colleauge repeatedly and co-workers to apologize and correct what they have printed. Also they called it the SEA BAR and it is the SHE BAR.

When one is writing news it is reccomended that you go out into the feild like I do to get the reports the best way that you can.

Regarding number two she admitted at the funeral parlor that she went to the jail to see and talk and explain the bent back finger of the Alleged murderer now in police cusody the day after he was captured and admitted to 14 times of stabbing him to the police and to the media.
When i interveiwed him on Friday night late he said he did not know her? What?

He also said he had dinner with Martin and drank with Martin? What?

The guard on duty that night said he was sitting alone and not with anyone or talking to anyone.

Confussing is it not?

I spoke to him a few times once we came home, he told us he was keeping his head down and the only important thing in his life was sorting out the troubles he had. He was even too scared to stay in his own home,if you had of spoke to him you would know his wife had a contact out on his life, its so corrupt its untrue. People here are in shock as no-one would get away with it here. We will be doing all we can on this side of the world and we will give all information we have to our authorities to help fight for his justice.

In recent interveiws with Bojol crew workers who served Martin his beverage and foods on the night of hiis murder have said that he was eating alone and was being watched closely by the two minor alleged suspects Guile and Borja.

In earlier testimony Guile said that the victim Martins Hawthorn (Williams) had invited them to sit at his table and join him for dinner and drinking. and that Martins disposition was freindly?

According to the roaming guard that was on duty that night he also said that Martin ate by himself. and that he went in alone and out of the establishment alone. No one was riding on his bike with him.

Marten entered alone and left alon

I implore/beg anyone considering any form of investment in this area to RE-CONSIDER untill justice for Martin Williams-Hawthorne has been served!
I believe the majority of the Bohol residents are peaceful,respectfull and honest.. But there are certain residents who are aware and hold full knowledge of the grotesque murder of an innocent man soley for financial reward !
Please do not reward these evil,greedy people by investing 1 euro untill the people resonsible are arrested... & convicted.
In my school days when constantly faced with a detention of our entire class due to the misbehaviour of one pupil , we all soon got fed up covering for the person who alone should of been punished !
The majority of Bohol deserve no punishment whotsoever and i believe they will self police if threats of British ,European & international funding were to be suspended untill the culprits are in custody charged with murder !
Allow the decent nature of Bohol residents to oust the vermin themselves before investing in any way, shape or form .
If not any investment will only be seen to the rest of the World as supporting murder in order to financially gain !
The IRA , Osma bin Laden all take innocent lives ?
Support Bohol or any surrounging areas untill justice has been served for Martin Williams-Hawthorne and his family and you may as well have a direct debit to the talliban !

I was told tonight the hotel manager would be lighting acandle in the place where he was attacked with a heavy blunt object and then stabbed to death.

Tonight and all day is jnoen is knoen as the easter .

The manager said she would do it tonight as it is Palm Sunday here the begining of holy yweek

I think it is pretty thoughtfull of the hotel management to do such a thing.

Mansa the place where he was murdererd is very high in crime theses days.

The other night the police say they accidently shot at a victim in Mansasa dist. who is now recovering from the bullet wounds

Last night the police were out in the street trying to tell kids to go home during late hours of the night as they tried to enforce the curfew for minors last night.

The Borja family lives in Mansasa dist. she was the one accomplice of Gulle who yelled for hope supposedly.

It is said by relatives on her moms side that she is known for beating up her mother and is reportedly also by family members as being associated in a gang known as the "Bloods".

Hi, my name is Roy Hill. Martin was a very good friend of mine and also my wife. I worked with Martin in Vauxhall. I and my wife cannot believe what has happened to him as he was a very decent and trusted friend. I spoke to martin about 2 years ago when he still had his Limousine business in the UK, he told me about his plans and said to me when he was settled he would contact me with details of where he was and would invite us to visit him. Although I have not spoken or seen martin for quite some time when you work with someone as long as we worked together the memory of his personality kindness and truthfulness will not leave me.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all his friends in Bohol, and his family my sincere sympathy on the loss of Martin.

GOODNIGHT MART MY THOUGHTS WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.

What is absolutley mind boggeling is the way they do not really do what I call a fine tooth combing when they investigate here.

Such as roping off areas of the crime scene, and also of his property. Talking to persons who had seen him just before he was murdererd to get an accountability of what the two alleged suspects had given its as if the story was planned out all the way to the end.
I do beleive the word is pre-meditated murder.

Any woman can say here in the Philippines that she was raped due to not having to take DNA samplings as we do in the states.

Most and I have seen this happen here several times (Pooor gullable foreign men falling into sexxual devious traps) that the woman here hang on his arms wears sexxy clothes and dines together with the foreigner victim to be and after he beds her and decides not to Wed her she creis rape.

Why does it happen more to foriegners and not to Filipino men?

Well Filipino man on the average here does not have money and the foreigner does. Could this be done out of proverty?

Maybe parents are pimping off they're ever so innocent daughters here because of big bad wholly Bully white men?

Ha ha ha!

What a scam!

After the Nicole incident no woman here who screams rape will get my sympathy.

Dear Prescilla ,

Please take a look at this perspective, European foreigners are eager to marry an asian, not only Filipinas because they are willing to be a housewife; that means keeping the house, caring for the husband and children upbringing. They still uphold the family values which is the traditional institution. If a child comes it is called a blessing.
For the European women, child bearing should be talked about especially if she is career oriented. Who takes the household chores, they will for sure make a compromise. This is a very organized society and all the daily chores are well scheduled.
The word pimping is hurtful, yes there parents who considers their children as some sort of investments.
A Filipina/Filipino will support a family left at home by working extra not depending on her husband´s earnings. This is really true to avoid conflict and quarrel in the family especially Germans are tihik.

To Friends of Martin,

If you think you have a case to prove, go after it. Go ahead, use your money to go after the real culprit, instead of trying to dazzle us with your investment plans which you threaten to abort, or hurling accusations against Boholanos making a wholesale conspiracy to palm off a dead man we don't even know from Adam, or making off-tangent remarks about our women and minors having no right to cry foul because they have been paid for.

Why don't we have a truce here, and let your reporter friend do her investigative work to prove that the culprit now in custody is hired by your suspect.

Tell you what, here in Japan where the police are known for their efficiency and technology-aided investigation, they are still trying to run after the killer of British Lindsay Ann Hawker, whose body was found decomposing on the porch of the suspect Tetsuya Ichihashi some two years ago.

Earlier in 2000, another celebrated case was the murder by mutilation of another British hostess Lucy Blackman. Despite eyewitness accounts that Japanese playboy-millionaire Joji Obara was the last person she was with and Obara's conviction in similar earlier murder cases, Obara was eventually acquitted for insufficient evidence.

Japan is vaunted to be in the top 5 most peaceful and safest nations in the world. Its police force is also acclaimed as one of the most disciplined and most admired in the world. But two heinous crimes were committed under their nose against British nationals just years apart of each other, and remain unsolved until now.

Now, in Martin's case, the Bohol police has the culprit in custody in a week's time. I'll give Bohol PNP credit for this. If there is overwhelming proof that there is more to this than being a spur-of-the-moment crime--perhaps an excessive reaction to an alleged attempted rape of a minor--then bring out the evidence.

Your friend Precy is an investigative reporter with close access to the police, right? You have the hypothesis that this was pre-meditated, this was planned ahead of time, this was a wide conspiracy of Boholanos after Martin's fortune. Then do your work, follow your leads, and deliver your evidences. When you have your proof, we'll all work together to get to the bottom of this crime and claim justice where it's due.ã€€

As it stands now, unless there is overwhelming reason to pursue the case beyond the person now established as the culprit, the police has done its job.

Don't be too over-eager to get justice for the dead and commit injustice against the living by your sweeping generalizations. Bring out your proof first.

After all, the dead was found with his pants down, literally and figuratively.

It is not fair to judge a filipina woman marrying a foreigner for money or marrying to have a better life. Most foreigners who choose to take a filipina woman for a wife or a girlfriend is also using the woman. Most asian women who marry a foreigner also suffer as they sometimes become the foreigners slave. So a mariage between them can at times be considered as a silent agreement of mutual exploitation.

Anything posted in here further regarding Martin's case must be factual information. (Documented).

No evidence has been pinned on or linked to Martin's widow. They have only seen it from the captured alleged suspects side.

Anything happening prior to Martin in the past was not considered as the alleged murder suspect is already in custody.

Investigation is still on going.

The alleged Murder suspect is already awaiting a court hearing at Cabawan prison located in Tagbilaran City.

I have some news that is good about Martin I will release it by this weekend.

It was something Martin would of been very happy about as he had known it all along that he was innocent.

I will contact first the family or see if they have already been notifeid of the news.

Before posting it in here.

Stay Tuned.

Wed ,around 1600 hrs i had taken one power of atty to give to the Tagbilaran City police Station.

The power of the Atty. was signed by martins parents and brother in England and sent to the Atty. of Martin to exume his remains out of Vicotoria memorial Garden cemetary.

SPO4 Silvan Palacio had handed me back the power of Atty. and looked at it and would not follow the parents and the Families request to send the sons cremated remains to England.
He told me Martin's widow wants to take the matter up in court.

The investigator told me that he is relying on words of the widow of Martin, Gulle's and the alleged accomplice borja and the alleged rapist Gulle.

I was not in any way outl of line telling SPO4 Palacio that i persopnally find his type of investigation as very biased and to much eager to close the book and way to shallow.

Other imporortant matters to consider is how was the wife towards the husband? How was he to her as well also?
If you recall the couple is documented as seperated.

She is in province of Leyte supposedly living with someone over there.

The house in Panglao should of been sealed by investigationlal tape to keep her out and anyone else.

SPO4 Palacio was also telling me that his wife was wanting his personal property given to her right a way.
In that personal property in the affidavit is one included item of a Samsung Cellular phone and on in that phone contained a sim card shown by Martin to his freinds and I and his Atty. regarding text messages of threats by a very well known number in his phones contact book.

In my opinion those personal belongings should of been held as evidence but do to the wifes hurreid request to retreive his items it was all returned back to her.

The good news regarding Martin"s case is that he was after all dismissed for allegations of rape due to fabricated storeis given by the complaintants according to the judges findings.

the Tagbilaran Police have been saying all along that Martin's wife is often at the police station. Even was there to talk with the alleged suspect after he was booked incarcerated at the city jail. (also stated in affidavit of Margie Hawthorn widow of the victim Martin Williams.).

She is related to a policeman here and the former mayor of Dagahoy here Bohol.

During the first week of Martin being found murdererd she had brought several girls in the Tagbilaran police station and claiming that they were all raped by the late Martin Williams.

This was said by PNP member Daraman of the Tagbilaran City police station last Tuesday night April 7, 2009

The Wednesday edition of this weeks newspaper front page news story sais "Other suspects in slaying of British National still at large."

Martin leaves behind his very loving family in England, a daughter by his 25 year old widow Margie Hawthorn several other relatives and 100 million limousines full of good mates /freinds back home in England and in Bohol.

Happy Easter All!

Hi Pres, thanks for the update.I think it doesnÂ´t matter if their separation is documented, since this kind of law is vague in the Philippines especially the conjugal properties accumulated during their marriage. still qualifies the widow to claim it as her own. That is the bitter truth.

That is right to an exstent.

They were marreid and together when martin built the home worth over 10 million pesos in panglao.

Martin paid it with his own money as the wife did not work she was 22-23 years old at the time.

So his parents in England can contest for the other half inwhich they are planning to do but at present they want they're son back so that they can greive in the proper way as martin is not a permanent resident here neither is he having a double citizenship that I am aware of?

His passport as well as the baby daughter of they'res is British passport both are the the propert of Great britain and should be returned back since they were seperated and she did file the protection order on him. That's my opinion.

I thought i would put people in the picture with regards to whats happening to martin, His parents wishes was that Martins body was to be cremated and his ashes sent home. His estranged wife arranged his funeral knowing his parents wishes . Last Saturday she planned his burial but his parents were able to stop it, but due to the fact she was still married to him and is his next of kin she was able and managed to get him buried on Tuesday gone. His parents are absolutly devastated by her actions and especailly after she rang them on the day she buried him and demanded Â£3700 for something they never wanted her to do. They now have a fight on there hands to get his body exhumed and his ashes brought home. The woman has no heart and her voice only ever asks for money. Shes so cold and evil.

Bambi,

I am just a reporter and was a freind to the victim, and his freinds.

There are people working on this case, and the NBI autopsy is still to be released from what they will find.

Let's just let England and Philipppines handle the investigations.

I strongly feel England should of been here from the beggining and the crime scene should of been taped off untill England had a chance to do their invesigation.

I also fell that the wife had no business gertting back her husbands belongs especailly as it should be marked for evidence.

No way would this have been returned to any spouse in any other normal country investigation who has been out of the other spouses picture for for sometime. it would be ussed as exhibits in court am I not right?
