Patrolling officials of Barangay Maytunas in San Juan City found two dead bodies in a dimly lit area Saturday night. Senior Supt. Rainier Espina, San Juan chief of police, said both victims, possibly in their early and mid-30s, were handcuffed and blindfolded with a masking tape.

Espina said there were details in the scene that seem to indicate whoever killed the men did not want police to have a difficult time in conducting their investigation. 

He said three bullet shells that were found in the scene had been placed on the stomach of the younger victim. The shells were from a .45 cal. revolver, Espina said, and seemed to be consistent with the bullet wounds found in the forehead of the elder victim, and the right and left temples of the younger one.

‘Chop-chop’ case probed

They are like separate pieces of a puzzle waiting to be solved. Police are now investigating the gruesome murder of a man whose severed body parts were thrown in different places in Valenzuela City and were found on Saturday. SPO1 Percy Villanueva of the Valenzuela City investigation unit said the body parts were grouped in three and thrown in different places.

SPO2 Arnold San Juan told the Inquirer that a certain George Caco came forward and identified the victim based on the severed head recovered by the police. Caco claimed the severed head belonged to Julius Caco, a former watchman of Barangay Karuhatan.

On Saturday, Senior Supt. Wilben Mayor, chief of police who led a team of field investigators in Barangay Karuhatan confirmed Caco’s information. He added that there were no bullet wounds found in any part of the victim’s body.
