A SIGN which said “holdaper ako (I’m a robber)” was found on the body of a dead man at the corner of Tayuman Avenue and Anacleto Street in Sta. Cruz, Manila, before dawn yesterday. The victim’s hands were bound while there was a gag on his mouth. The police said he had been strangled to death.

Three hours after the discovery of the body, a severed arm was also found at Sta. Mesa. Case investigator PO2 Lester Evangelista said that barangay officials were on patrol when they spotted a large object wrapped in a white blanket on the sidewalk. The still unidentified victim was described as between 25 and 35 years old, at least 5’ 5” tall, of medium build and dressed in a white T-shirt and blue denim pants. Meanwhile, electrician Danilo Alvarado was on his way to work at a building of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines when he saw a package containing a human arm. He immediately reported his find to the police.
