Body parts found decapitated German

manila - Philippine soldiers found the body remains of the septuagenarian German hostage Jürgen Kantner. He was beheaded in February by the terrorist group Abu Sayyaf. Both his mind and his body were found, according to the Philippine army.

The remains were found in the remote southern province of Sulu and taken to the morgue of a hospital. Once all the formalities have been completed, the body will be flown to Germany.

The terrorists killed because Kantner had not been made on time the ransom of the equivalent of approximately 575 000. Abu Sayyaf posted a video of the beheading on the Internet.

Kantner in November 2016 was sailing with his wife Sabine Merz when he was attacked and abducted in waters about 1,500 kilometers south of Manila. His wife was thereby slain.\n  \n   \n    \n    \n   \n   \n   \n      \n   \n     Photo: AP
