Police said the caller rang Hulse from Napanapa and wanted to meet him there to give back his passport.

“He went there on Saturday but never returned until his body was found yesterday,” Tondop said.

He said the body was found about 200m from Napanapa Oil Refinery’s entrance by security guards.

Tondop said before meeting his fate Hulse last talked to his friends around 10am and told them of his plans.

Tondop said how the killers got Hulse’s number and what they wanted from him were not known.
