CABANATUAN CITY — Police on Friday ruled out robbery as the motive behind the killing of a Korean national whose body was found inside an SUV in an outskirt village in Gen. Tinio, Nueva Ecija.

Police Brig. Gen. Jess Mendez, who presided over a case conference at the Nueva Ecija Police Provincial Office here, said the victim’s valuables, including an expensive Rolex wristwatch and a large amount of cash, were not taken.

Mendez said investigators have already identified at least three persons of interest in the case.
