American Man Arrested in Philippines After Girlfriend’s Body Found

Police discovered the woman’s body in a plastic drum at the home she shared with her American boyfriend near Manila.

Police in the Philippines have arrested a 71-year-old American man on the suspicion that he murdered his Filipina girlfriend and hid her body in a plastic water drum. Authorities discovered the body of Mila Loslos, 48, wrapped in a garbage bag and duct tape, at the home she shared with boyfriend William Worth just outside the capital of Manila, CBS News reported. They also found three knives and a length of rope. The woman’s adult son summoned police to the scene after she had been missing for several days and he smelled a “foul odor” at the house. A spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy in Manila told Agence France-Presse that U.S. authorities are aware of the case but declined to provide additional information.
