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.”
