A LABORER was found slumped on the ground with stab wounds at the First Alley, Toril Public Market,  around 3:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 20.

Major Michael Uyanguren, commander of Toril Police Station, identified him as Manuel Alemania III, 33, a resident of Lim Street in Toril. 

Initial investigation showed an eatery owner parked her tricycle when she noticed the half-naked body on the ground near the ditch. She checked and saw the bloodied body, prompting her to call the security guards on duty.

According to the victim’s half-sister, the victim had been sleeping around the Toril Public Market whenever he got drunk. He had not been to their house for some time now.

Meanwhile, the security guards testified that the victim was involved in multiple robbery and pickpocketing incidents at the market.
