The Missing Filipina Case  SOLVED


Finally, the Bebe Paqa case has folded and was drawn to an end after 4 years of searching for her body, believed to have been killed and hidden by her impassive Dutch husband, Edwin.

I just received the news today from the Dutchman. He called me at home (I am still on strike lol) that the case was on the headline news of the Telegraaf newspaper. I could not find the news on its online page so I went to the site of Peter R. de Vries, the host of Reality TV Crime & Detective stories, who painstakingly have been active in this case.

It was indeed confirmed, Bebe Paqa was found, DEAD, recently.

For the full news and photos, click on Peter R. de Vries link above. Look into the red section of NIEUWS, then click MEER below.

Her remains were discovered under the cement floor of the murderer husbands twin brother in Nuenen (The Netherlands), who obviously was an accessory to the crime. He is currently taken into police custody.

Bebe, whos a Cebuana came to the Netherlands to be with her Dutch husband. Together they had one son. I am not in-tuned to the facets of their marriage, but in 2001 the husband claimed that she suffered stress attacks. With that, Bebe made a decision to go back to the Philippines to live an anonymous life, free from stress, leaving him with their son to take care of. But they were all lies…

Last year (or was it the other year), Peter R. de Vries and his team flew to the Philippines on a Find Bebe hunt mission. Regrettably she was nowhere to be found. Not a single trace.

In the meantime, Edwin, the murderer husband moved to Norway, hoping to escape from the razor-sharp eyes of the press and the police. Unknown to him, the authorities have been busy for months gathering enough evidence before closing on him. Sometime in October 2004 he was arrested for further questioning on new grounds and evidence in his home in Norway by the local Norwegian police.
The police even found child pornographic materials in his computer! *Shock*

Incidentally, a Filipina Au Pair was also taken into employment by this murderer husband to take care of his son (also Bebes son). The Filipina Au Pair was found dead in her room, reason of her death was unexplained. Since he was a doctor by profession, he was clever enough to strategize what he exactly must do. He quickly arranged for a cremation of the Filipina Au Pair. In order to get the family’s approval for cremation, he probably made up some believable neurotic story and dangled enough Euros in between to the poor family back in the Philippines. The Dutch police could not press charges since the crime scene was expunged and manipulated leaving no remnants… and worse, there was no body, no victims body to investigate, but only ashes.

But with the death of his Filipina wife, the new developments, he is immovable. Canned. He should be pulverized in jail!

Such a tragic tale I have been following this case since I arrived here in NL in 2002.

These are the kinds of stories the C.F.O. (Commission on Filipino Overseas) will usurp and flaunt onto your face complete with video tapes and horror flick accounts when going through the CFO counseling seminar. A counseling seminar required by Philippine law to any Filipino citizen moving to another country as a love immigrant.

This Bebe Paqa story, I am sure will be added to their already jam-packed inventory collection of murder and abuse documentaries.

Cebuana comes home in a coffin
CEBU CITY — A Filipina bride arrived home in a box Sunday,
while her Dutch
husband stayed home in Holland to face a first-degree
murder charge filed by
the police.
The family of Veneranda Paqa Tenwinkel, 33, wailed when
they saw her coffin
being unloaded at the cargo area of the Mactan-Cebu
International Airport
and vowed to do everything to obtain justice.
Alma, 59, Veneranda’s mother, said the National Bureau of
Investigation
(NBI) has agreed to their request for an autopsy so they
will find out how
Veneranda died.
Tenwinkel was first reported missing by her husband Edwin,
46, on Jan. 19,
2001. She was found dead, but well-preserved, last month in
the room of
Edwin’s twin brother Erick. She was found exactly four
years after being
reported missing.
No details were available, though, on why Edwin was held as
the principal
suspect, because his government is keeping the
investigation confidential.
An official from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA)
said the Philippine
Government has to keep its hands off the case, considering
that Veneranda
had become a Dutch national.
“There’s nothing we can do. We will just monitor updates of
the court
hearing,” said Lovelia Laping, special assistant of
Undersecretary Jose
Brilliantes.
She said Veneranda was about to be buried in Holland when
the Philippine
Embassy filed a petition in court–upon the request of her
family in Badian,
Cebu–that they be allowed to assume custody of her
remains.
The petition was granted and the Philippines spent P800,000
to bring
Veneranda’s body back home. She was flown on a Malaysian
Airlines flight and
arrived in Mactan at 3:10 p.m. Sunday.
Members of militant group Migrante were with Veneranda’s
relatives at the
airport.
Laping said that because the Philippines cannot intervene
in the case,
whatever the NBI reports after its autopsy is only for the
consumption of
Veneranda’s family.
Veneranda was the second of seven siblings. She was
previously married to
another Dutch national, with whom she had a son, but that
union ended.
In 1997, she met Edwin, a doctor. Their three-year-old son
is now with
Edwin’s parents.
Before Veneranda was reported missing, she made a phone
call from the
Netherlands to her older sister Estella Chua, 34, in Badian
on Dec. 28,
1998.
“She said she was homesick and wanted to come home, because
she was
exhausted from taking care of her husband and son,” Chua
said. She never
mentioned any maltreatment, however.
In January 2001, Chua received a phone call from Edwin, who
informed her
that Veneranda was missing.
The family’s fears grew when Edwin’s stories kept changing
whenever they
tried to get updates from him on the effort to locate
Veneranda.
He once told Chua that Veneranda was recuperating from
post-natal
depression, but that he couldn’t tell them which hospital
she was being
treated.
In another conversation, Edwin told Chua that Veneranda was
back in the
Philippines, living with another man in Barangay Lahug,
Cebu City.
“Sa telepono ako na gyod siyang giprangkahan nga gaduda mi
niya nga iyang
gipatay iyang asawa kay bisan unsa na man lang iyang alibi
(I told him about
my family’s suspicion that he had killed his wife, because
he kept coming up
with different alibis),” Chua said.
Between 2001 and 2004, Edwin made several visits to the
Philippines,
reportedly to find another woman to marry, she added.
“We learned he found a girlfriend in Leyte,” she said.
After the autopsy, her family will bring Veneranda back to
their hometown,
Badian, for burial. (AIV)
