POLICE are still investigating the killing of a 15-year-old girl who was dumped in a canal in Purok Taurus, Tambongon-Bucana Road in Barangay Alejandra Navarro (Lasang) on April 27.
Maj. Noel Villahermosa, the commander of Bunawan Police Station, said alias Weng was a resident of the area and her body was found by a passerby at around 6:30 a.m.
According to the report, the victim joined her girlfriend in attending a birthday party at around 8 p.m. on Monday, April 26. The two left at around 11 p.m while the rain was pouring hard. The family never heard from her again.
The victim succumbed to a stab wound on the stomach. Members of the Scene of the Crime Operatives, led by Maj. Nelson Lee Silveron, arrived and processed the crime scene at about 8:55 am.
The victim’s body was taken to Rivera Funeral Homes for the required autopsy.

However, they already have two persons of interest, including the victim’s partner.
