Senior Inspector Lawrence Bathan, chief Murcia Municipal Police Station, said yesterday that Horada’s body sustained multiple stab and hack wounds.

The cadaver was brought to Lourdes Funeral Homes and has been subjected to postmortem examination.
Bathan said they are still conducting further investigation to identity the suspect.
