Suspect in deaths of Australians at Philippines resort is former pool cleaner allegedly sacked by hotel

The bodies of Sydney man David Fisk, his partner Lucita Cortez and a relative of Cortez were found tied up in a hotel resort south of Manila

The suspect in the killings of two Australians and their Filipina companion at a hotel in a popular resort city south of Manila was a former pool cleaner who allegedly wanted to retaliate against the hotel for firing him.

The suspect claimed that he randomly barged into the victims' room last week because its window was open, Philippine officials said on Wednesday.
