MANILA, Philippines. December 29. KAZINFORM Police say a gift-wrapped grenade exploded and killed a woman when she opened the package inside her house in an upscale neighborhood of Manila. Kazinform refers to China Daily.
The metropolitan Manila police chief, Nicanor Bartolome, says police are trying to establish a motive for the blast in Manila's Taguig city and are interviewing other members of the 31-year-old woman's family.
Unwrapping the package apparently removed the pin from the grenade, triggering the blast. Bartolome says the woman died instantly. Kazinform cites China Daily. See www.chinadaily.com.cn
