A family’s mourning was doubled after they discovered that the body of their matriarch, who had just been buried on February 16, was found outside her resting place.
According to the report, the caretaker of Sto. Domingo Public Cemetery in Albay discovered the empty casket of the 82-year-old woman.
Around 150 meters from the casket, the authorities found the body, which had missing underwear.
Investigators suspect that the suspect dragged the body and had taken advantage of the deceased.
The authorities were planning to perform an autopsy on the body to confirm their initial investigation.
After the autopsy, the family said that they would cremate the body of their matriarch, fearing that the incident may happen again.
As of this writing, the identity of the suspect has yet to be determined.
“Bagama’t masakit at nakakalungkot para sa mga kamag-anak ng yumao ang nabanggit na pangyayari, patuloy ang pagsasagawa ng imbestigasyon ng pulisya ng Sto. Domingo MPS upang matukoy ang salarin sa nasabing insidente at panagutin sa batas,” the Sto. Domingo PNP statement read.
