Pinoy couple arrested in Arizona over death of senior citizen


A Filipino couple was nabbed in Arizona, USA over the death of a senior citizen under their care, according to a report of Marisol Abdurahman on Balitanghali on Thursday.

Joseph and Lolita Somera own a home-based living facility where the senior citizen was admitted.

According to the investigation, the facility’s air-conditioning system had been off for three days which caused the victim to suffer from complicated acute pneumonia due to heat exposure.

Due to the alleged neglect, the two were arrested.

Authorities added that the Someras’ immigration status is also questionable.

The couple is set to face the court on Thursday. —Joviland Rita/KBK, GMA News
