Two Severed Heads Found

an Inquirer report from 2008


Superintendent Franklin Moises Mabanag, chief of Quezon City Police District’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (QCPD-CIDU), said the two heads were found by scavengers floating along a creek in Sitio (sub-village) West Riverside, Barangay (village) San Antonio at around 9:30 a.m.


Quoting witnesses, Mabanag said the heads were already bloated and in the early stages of decomposition.


He said they believe the heads belonged to members of a drug syndicate who may have been killed by their gangmates.


“Members of illegal drugs syndicate are known to kill their members in such ghastly ways,” he told the Philippine Daily Inquirer (parent company of INQUIRER.net).


Mabanag said they invited a woman who had gone to their office Wednesday night to file a blotter entry about her husband and their friend, who went missing after they were allegedly abducted by unidentified men in Quiapo, Manila a week ago.

Batang City Jail gang members executed

Heavily tattooed men found dead in Quiapo
By Jeannette Andrade, Philippine Daily Inquirer 08/03/2010

MANILA, Philippines—The bodies of two heavily tattooed gang members, believed to be victims of summary execution, were discovered early Tuesday, after they were dumped under a bridge in Quiapo, Manila.

Both members of the Batang City Jail had been strangled to death before they were dumped.

Police Officer 3 Jay Santos of the Manila Police District (MPD) homicide section identified the victims as Jimmy Reyes, 31, of Oroquieta Street in Sta. Cruz; and an alias “Ivan,” whom he described to be between 30 and 40 years old, with his hair dyed. Both men bore tattoos all over their bodies and were half-naked.

Santos said that their bodies were discovered by a street sweeper at around 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday, near a shop under the Quezon Bridge in Quiapo.

The case investigator revealed that street sweeper Noel De Castro, of the Leonel Waste Management Incorporated, was cleaning the streets near a handicraft store under the bridge when he stumbled onto the bodies which were slumped on the concrete pavement.

He immediately sought police assistance from the MPD Sta. Cruz Station 3 Barbosa outpost.

Santos observed ligature marks around the necks of the bodies showing that they were strangled to death. The bodies were brought to the St. Yvan funeral parlor for autopsy and safekeeping.

Homicide investigators are conducting follow-up operations to determine the motive and to identify the killers.
