MANILA, Philippines — Police in the Philippines say an Australian national has been arrested for allegedly killing another Australian man and a Filipino woman in a city northwest of Manila.
Michael McLaren was identified by police as the gunman behind the shooting of Anthony George Wilson and Mila Bailey in Olongapo in Zambales province. He was arrested Friday, about three hours after the attack.
CCTV footage shows Bailey’s Australian husband, Wayne Bailey, exiting the car from the driver’s seat, before collapsing nearby. He was rushed to a hospital and is currently recovering from a gunshot wound also allegedly inflicted by McLaren.
Police said they were looking into a property selling dispute as a possible motive for the crime.
