A men’s magazine model was killed by her American husband, who reportedly hurt her throughout their four-year marriage, in Makati City, a report in the Philippine Star said.
Authorities arrested James Edward Moore II, who tried to slit his throat after beating up his wife Aiko Baniqued inside their posh condominium unit in Barangay Poblacion on Wednesday night.
Baniqued’s personal assistant and niece came to her rescue and freed her after being handcuffed inside the couple’s unit at Amorsolo Tower. But the suspect caught up with her wife at the elevator and started beating her up again. He slammed the victim’s head at a wall repeatedly until she was unconscious.
Baniqued was rushed to a local hospital, but she was declared dead on arrival.
Moore on the other hand was also brought to another hospital where he is being treated and closely watched. He will be charged with parricide.
