A man jumped to his death from the second floor of the hospital where he was confined after an earlier attempt to commit suicide by stabbing himself failed on Thursday in Quezon City.
In a separate incident, also in Quezon City, a construction worker is now under close watch in a hospital after he survived a suicide try with the timely arrival of his brother.
The two separate incidents brought to nine the number of suicide cases recorded in Quezon City. “The frequency of such reports is alarming and I have ordered a study on how the police can get involved in its prevention,” said Chief Supt. Elmo San Diego, city district director.
PO1 Hermogenes Capili of the QCPD homicide section identified the dead victim as Rene Yurag of Cebu City. Yurag had at least 10 stab wounds in various parts of the body when he was brought to the hospital. Based on his relatives’ accounts, Yurag stabbed himself inside the bathroom of his cousin’s house in Sauyo Road where he had been staying since he arrived from Cebu a week ago. The relatives said they did not know why the victim would kill himself.

Chopped Up Body Found
A report from the Inquirer's METRO section filed by Jeannette I. Andrade
http://politics.inquirer.net/politics/view/20100405-262418/MetroBriefs
A scavenger fished out a man’s torso from a creek in Tondo, Manila the other day. The body part, a Manila Police District (MPD) homicide section investigator said, was found in a sack at the Estero de Vitas.
Last week, scavengers found a man’s head in the same area followed by the discovery of two left legs at the Pasig River and Smokey Mountain in succeeding days.
Case investigator PO3 Joseph Kabigting said there were several tattoos on the torso—the name Edgar on the abdomen and the letters L on the right shoulder, N in the middle of the chest area and C on the left shoulder.

Is the Garbage Collector back?
Body in sack fished out of Pasig, By Jeannette Andrade
Philippine Daily Inquirer, 02/26/2010
The body of an unidentified street gang member, believed to be a victim of summary execution, was found Friday morning stuffed into a sack and dumped in the Pasig River in Manila.
Manila Police District homicide section investigators described the man to be between 45 and 55 years old, 5-foot-7 inches tall, fair-skinned, of medium build and with several front teeth missing. He wore a green t-shirt, black short pants and bore the Commando gang tattoo on his body.
The Commando gang is usually composed of members who have been charged with crimes and have been jailed.
The corpse, which was stuffed head first into a violet rice sack, was found with a towel and brown packaging tape wrapped around the head, steel wire lopped around the neck and feet, and hands bound with plastic straw.
(And I continue to wonder if this crime to related to these ... http://metrocrimescene.blogspot.com/search/label/packaging%20tape)
PO2 Gerry Amores of the MPD homicide section said the body was fished out of the portion of the Pasig River along Muelle del Industria Street, Barangay 282 Zone 26, in Binondo at around 6:40 a.m.
Amores said the floating sack, with the feet of the victim jutting out, was first spotted by a concerned citizen who immediately informed SPO3 Reynaldo San Andres of the Lawton outpost of the MPD Ermita station 5.

Executions in QC
2 bodies dumped in QC
By Nancy C. Carvajal
Philippine Daily Inquirer, 11/29/2009
The bodies of two men believed to be victims of summary execution were found Sunday morning in Quezon City.
PO3 Joselito Gagaza of the Quezon City Police District’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit said the victims, whose heads were wrapped in packing tape, have yet to be identified.
Both had apparently been strangled to death because of the marks on their necks, he added. One of the men had a nylon cord tied around his neck while the other had an iron chain around his neck, he added.
NOTE : the report made no mention if the victims were stabbed or shot (which were usually seen in the other victims) and in this case, the victims were not wrapped in garbage bags
Henry Lomidao, a barangay tanod (neighborhood watchman), found the bodies at around 4:30 a.m., on Sunday, along Union Avenue Extension, Gloria III, in Barangay Culiat.
Gagaza said one of the victims could be a former inmate because he had a BCJ tattoo. BCJ stands for Batang City Jail.
The victim with the BCJ tattoo was described as between 35 and 40 years old, 5’6” in height, of slim build and with fair complexion. He was dressed in a black pair of cargo pants and a white long-sleeved shirt, which was worn over a black T-shirt and an undershirt.
On the other hand, the other victim was described as 5’3” in height, of medium build and clad in a pair of gray pants and blue shirt with long sleeves.
Gagaza said it appeared that both victims had been killed somewhere else and their bodies were only dumped in the area.
