Police in Las Piñas City launched a manhunt on Sunday to arrest
three men who allegedly raped and killed an 18-year-old woman.
The body of Jennifer Japson Aliwanay, a resident
of Barangay Aldana in the city, was discovered inside an abandoned
house along Curban Street at around 9 a.m. on Sunday.
Paul Diaz of the Las Piñas Police Criminal
Investigation Division said the girl was last seen alive at around
1:30 a.m. when she bought a bottle of beer from a nearby store.
A certain Boy Istanari told investigators that
he heard a loud scream past 3 a.m., which he said sounded like the
voice of woman crying for help. He said he went back to sleep
thinking that a couple was only quarreling.
Diaz said Istanari went to the abandoned house
first thing in the morning and saw the victim’s naked and bloodied
body. The cadaver had a huge wound in the head, probably hit with a
blunt object.
The policeman ad-ded a pedicab driver reported
that he saw the girl having a drinking spree with three unidentified
men.
