On Saturday, July 6, it became known that the body of a 37-year-old Israeli was found in the Philippines Itzhak Cohen and his 27-year-old Filipino girlfriend Geneva Lopez, who stopped communicating on June 21.
This was reported by Maariv.
Their bodies were found in the city of Capas in Tarlac province. Relatives have already identified them. The Israeli consulate in the Philippines is currently in the process of sending Cohen’s body back home. No other details of the incident have been released yet.
It is known that Itzhak and his girlfriend, who is a model and beauty queen, went to meet a man. The man they were supposed to meet had borrowed money from an Israeli several years ago but had not repaid the loan. He offered to give him land in exchange for the loan. The couple went to the city to look at the plot of land. Since then, they have not been in touch.
“Kursor” wrote earlier that law enforcement officers in the Philippines, who were searching for the Israeli and his companion, initially reported that they might have been kidnapped. They even found a car in which they could have been taken somewhere with a subsequent ransom demand.
