The Manila Police District is now conducting a manhunt for a
“lady-killer” allegedly behind the death of two women under
similar circumstances.
Last week, the burnt remains of a 60-year old
woman was discovered in a hotel in Recto, and on Sunday, a body of
another slain woman with a burnt face was found inside a hotel in
Quiapo.
The latest victim was described by police as a
30-year old lady, slim built and long-haired.
Police described the male suspect as between 30
to 35 years old, 5’6 in height and medium built.
Police reports showed the latest victim and the
suspect checked in at the Happy Hotel at 10 a.m. on Saturday
and paid for a 12-hour stay. The victim registered under the name of
Marvin Cachola. At 7 a.m. on Sunday, the suspect then paid for an
additional 12-hour stay.
Then at 4:45 p.m. of the same day, a parking
attendant informed the hotel’s management that smoke was coming
out from one their establishment’s rooms.
The door of the room where the smoke came from
was forcibly opened and the cadaver of the victim was discovered,
with her face partially burnt.
Police said the suspect in the latest murder
case matched the description of the suspect of the earlier incident
involving a 60-year-old woman.
