Cuyacut’s estranged husband, Noel Consorte was the one who coordinated with the Department of Foreign Affairs on the repatriation of his deceased wife, said Castro.

Their two daughters, Jennely and Rosemary Consorte, are Cuyacut's OWWA beneficiaries.

Hong Kong police are still investigating the killing of Cuyacut, who used to be a domestic worker but whose visa status at the time of her death was not immediately known.

A 37-year-old Gambian national reportedly called police on Apr 11 to say that he had killed Cuyacut - who he referred to as his wife ---in a unit on Pang Ching St. in Tokwawan.

The man was reportedly a torture claimant on recognizance who has been in Hong Kong since 2012.

Meanwhile, the remains of Gariando, who collapsed in her employer’s kitchen in Happy Valley on May 8 while preparing dinner, will be taken to her hometown of Hinigaran in Negros Occidental where she will be buried, said her close friend Rosamie Borromeo.

Doctors who attended to Gariando at Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital in Chaiwan said she must have banged her head on the floor when she collapsed due to a stroke and fell into a coma. They said an x-ray revealed a skull fracture.

Gariando’s sister, Mary Grace, who is also a domestic helper in Hong Kong, escorted her remains on the flight home, said Borromeo.

Gariando, who was known to be athletic, had worked for a total of 20 years for the Lau family in Happy Valley. She is survived by husband Prospero, a 27-year-old daughter and two granddaughters.
