| Tabor was found dead in a flat in one of the residential buildings in this estate |
The 53-year-old Filipina domestic worker believed to have
committed suicide by burning charcoal at her employer’s house in Taipo on Dec.
9 will be cremated, and her ashes brought home by her younger sister.
M. Tabor’s sister is due to arrive in Hong Kong tonight,
according to
Hermogenes Cayabyab Jr of the Consulate’s assistance to nationals
section.
The ATN officer confirmed that before Tabor apparently
killed herself, she had
written a letter to her five siblings telling them of her
final wishes.
But a separate suicide note which police in Hong Kong say was found shortly after Tabor's body was found inside her employer's flat in Peak Providence estate has not been forwarded or shown to ATN.
Cayabyab said Tabor was married but had separated from her husband many years ago. They had no
child together.
He also said that the victim’s employers, a local couple,
were shocked by her death because she had been with them for about 14 years and they did not sense anything wrong with her.
“Tinatanong pa sa akin kung ano ang kaugalian nating mga
Pilipino kapag namamatayan. Ang sagot ko ay ipa-bless na lang nila ang bahay,”
said Cayabyab.
