Summary
Three men arrested in the Philippines for the brutal robbery murder of 73-year-old American marine biologist Kent Carpenter, who was shot while sitting on his sofa during an attack that also injured his companion; the suspects stole a laptop, cash, and a backpack, with one suspect—previously Carpenter’s carpenter—alleged to be the gunman; police are still hunting a fourth suspect, and while motive remains unclear, authorities say it was likely a planned robbery unrelated to Carpenter’s environmental work; Carpenter, a respected professor at Old Dominion University and key international voice on marine conservation and South China Sea disputes, was on a research trip and preparing for retirement.
