Cops probe 'salvage' of 3 men dumped in Bulacan

Police in Bulacan province are investigating the death of three men whose bodies were stuffed into black bags and dumped in a subdivision in San Jose del Monte before dawn Wednesday. San Jose del Monte police head Superintendent Rodolfo Hernandez said the bodies were found at 5:20 a.m. in a subdivision in Barangay Gaya-Gaya. "Tatlo ito, nakalagay sa tig-isang piraso ng karton at may bag na itim (There are three of them, each placed in a carton and stuffed inside a black bag)," he said in an interview on dzBB radio. He said that an initial information indicated the three victims were male. But he declined to comment further until Scene of the Crime Operations members process the victims. Also, he said they are investigating a motorcycle found abandoned in the subdivision where the bodies were dumped. Hernandez also noted the subdivision is near the boundary of Bulacan and Caloocan City. "Ang subdivision di marami ang nakatira. Matalahib siya at may gate sa may Caloocan (Not many people live in the subdivision. And it is near the boundary of Caloocan)," he said. — LBG, GMA News
