Woman found dead in Laguna

By

CAMP PACIANO RIZAL, Laguna, Philippines—A woman was found dead in a vacant lot in San Pablo City, Laguna, the police said Wednesday.

Superintendent Ferdinand de Castro, San Pablo City police chief, identified the victim as Ariane Villamater, 25.

In a phone interview, De Castro said Villamater was last seen Monday evening when she left their apartment in Green Valley Subdivision in Barangay San Francisco to buy load credits for her cell phone.

At around 7 a.m. on Tuesday, a relative found the victim’s body dumped in a vacant lot inside the subdivision.

De Castro said Villamater’s body bore bruises in the chest and head which may have been inflicted using a blunt object.

He said the victim was also found naked, leading police to suspect she was raped.

Villamater, a native of Antipolo City, had just moved to San Pablo City with her husband, a medical representative, on January 1.

Police were conducting an investigation to find a suspect in the killing.
