THE BODY of a still unidentified woman, who may have been killed earlier according to police, was set on fire on the sidewalk of C5 road in Taguig City Monday past midnight. Police Officer 2 Allan Corpus, Taguig police investigator, said mobile patrol men were making the rounds in Barangay Fort Bonifacio at around 12:30 p.m. when they noticed a fire across the street near McKinley Hill Village.
Upon checking it, the lawmen were taken aback to find out a burning body of a woman. Corpus said the face of the woman was already beyond recognition after the police put out the fire.
The woman, wearing black upper undergarment and short pants, may be killed first before she was set on fire for the purpose of hiding the crime, Corpus said. Police found four cigarette butts and a folded shirt reeking of flammable fluid, Corpus said.

A “trained killer” could be behind the gruesome slaying of a still unidentified woman whose charred body was found near an upscale subdivision on C-5 Road in Taguig City the other day, police said Wednesday.
Senior Supt. Camilo Cascolan, Taguig police chief, said the assailant crushed the woman’s hands before setting the victim on fire apparently to destroy her fingerprints and hide the crime.
He added that it was possible that the victim knew her killer.
“With the way she was murdered, the killer may have been very angry with her. The killer also seemed to know how to hide the crime because the victim’s fingerprints were completely destroyed,” Cascolan said.
