Australian fugitive nabbed at NAIA

MANILA, Philippines - An Australian man, accused of abusing a 12-year-old girl in his native country, was intercepted by immigration officers when he arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 Tuesday.

The International Police (Interpol) issued an alert for airport officials to hold Roy Woodward, 39, upon his arrival.

Based on the Interpol alert, Woodward left for Manila just as a local court is reportedly set to issue a sentence on the case.

The Australia-based Interpol office and the Australian embassy have been informed of Woodward’s arrest.
