Her remains were placed in three plastic bags and dumped by the roadside in Barangay Campo 8, Minglanilla town before noon. The absence of a head or identification papers complicated initial attempts to identify the victim. “Sobra gyud ang kasuko sa biktima nga nakabuhat ug ingon ani (Whoever did this acted in rage),” said PO2 Avelino Selloria of the Minglanilla Police Station. In the 11 years he’s worked in the southern town, Selloria said it was the grisliest attack he had ever seen. [full story]
