Police said a British man was shot dead in the northern Philippines in the second attack in as many days against a foreigner in the country.
Bruce Anthony Jones was in a car in Angeles city en route to meet friends in a firing range yesterday when two men on a motorcycle fatally shot him and wounded his Filipino wife.
Senior Supt Danilo Bautista said today the 50-year-old Mr Jones was a resident of the nearby city of Olongapo. His hometown was not immediately available.
The wife will undergo operation for a gunshot wound and has not yet talked to police at length. But she told investigators she does not recognise the gunmen. Police have no suspect yet.
