Makati police has ruled out foul play behind the death of two Korean siblings in Makati City, a police official said Saturday.

Chief Inps. Gideon Ines, Makati police’s Assistant Chief of Police for Operations (ACOPO) head, made this conclusion following the death of Sanjing Kim, 38, and SangJun Kim, 36.

On early Friday morning, the brothers were found lifeless in front of an establishment along Makati Avenue in Barangay Poblacion, Makati.

Patrolling policemen heard a loud bang around 6 a.m. Upon checking, they saw the two bodies lying on the ground.

The establishment where they were staying was very cooperative in the probe, according to Ines. (Jel Santos)
