The victims Donald Douglas Werley, 62, of North Carolina, and Mary Johanna Melen Werley, 61, of Ontario, Canada, were divested of 150 US dollars and P500 in cash, an undetermined amount of jewelry, and other personal belongings. The culprits gained entrance by scaling the roof of the comfort room, to reach the arch window grill, then detached and slashed the screen of the west side of the house, police said.
