A woman was killed when she opened what was apparently a package bomb inside her home in a subdivision in Taguig City Wednesday, a police official said.

The victim, Yvonne Chua, died on the spot when the bomb exploded to her face while opening the package, said Chief Superintendent Jose Arne delos Santos, Southern Police District chief.

A report from Radyo Inquirer showed that the explosion occurred at around 10:30 a.m. inside Chua’s home at Mahogany Place at Block 10, Lot 21 in Barangay (village) Bambang.

The report said Chua’s husband, Louie, and seven-year old son, Benson, were also injured in the explosion.

Chua, delos Santos said, was a “plain housewife.”

Two men executed in Quiapo

Manila Police District homicide section head Inspector Armando Macaraeg described one of the slain men as 20-28 years old, six-feet tall, of medium build, and clad in a gray shirt and cargo short pants. The man had a ring on his left ear lobe.

The other, Macaraeg said, was between 30 and 40 years old, five-foot-one tall, and clad in a white shirt and white printed short pants. He had his face wrapped in packing tape.

Macaraeg said both men had their hands tied behind their backs and their feet bound with nylon cord. Oddly, Macaraeg pointed out, the bodies were piled up in the shape of a cross, with the victim in his 20s lying across the other man’s body.

“One had bullet wounds in the face and in the back, while the other had a gunshot wound in the stomach and had a contusion on the forehead,” Macaraeg said, adding both were shot with a .45-caliber pistol.

Police Officer 3 Giovanni Valera, case investigator, said that a witness reported hearing four shot and when he looked out of his window he saw a gray sedan and two scooters speeding away from their neighborhood toward the direction of Claro M. Recto Avenue.
