ZAMBOANGA CITY – Police are holding 3 men linked to the killing of a bar girl in Zamboanga City in southern Philippines, officials said Friday.
Officials said the men were
being investigated for the murder of 26-year old April Rose Villanueva, whose
decomposing body was found recently at a bushy area in the village of Sangali.
The body had no underwear,
according to the police, raising speculations that she was raped before being
brutally killed and dumped the corpse inside a private land. A knife and a
sweatshirt were also recovered by police investigators from the area.
The pieces of evidence,
officials said, led policemen to one of the suspects who denied committing the
crime, but eventually broke down during investigation and pointed to 3 other
accomplices to the heinous crime.
Villanueva, a native of
Zamboanga Sibugay’s Surabay town, had been absent from her work for days until
the stench and pungent smell of the cadaver led a farmer to the crime scene and
reported it to the police.
Police were investigating if
the killing had anything to do with the woman’s own admission when the victim was
still alive that she had been helping with the authorities in the government’s
war on drugs.
It was unknown whether the
suspects - who are facing criminal charges - were drug users or not, but the investigation
is still going on, officials said. (Mindanao Examiner)
