MANILA, Philippines -- The bodies of two men believed to be victims of summary execution were found Sunday morning in Quezon City.

PO3 Joselito Gagaza of the Quezon City Police District?s Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit said the victims, whose heads were wrapped in packing tape, have yet to be identified.

Both had apparently been strangled to death because of the marks on their necks, he added.

Henry Lomidao, a barangay tanod (neighborhood watchman), found the bodies at around 4:30 a.m., on Sunday, along Union Avenue Extension, Gloria III, in Barangay Culiat.

Gagaza said one of the victims could be a former inmate because he had a BCJ tattoo. BCJ stands for Batang City Jail.

The victim with the BCJ tattoo was described as between 35 and 40 years old, 5?6? in height, of slim build and with fair complexion. He was dressed in a black pair of cargo pants and a white long-sleeved shirt, which was worn over a black T-shirt and an undershirt.

On the other hand, the other victim was described as 5?3? in height, of medium build and clad in a pair of gray pants and blue shirt with long sleeves.

Gagaza said it appeared that both victims had been killed somewhere else and their bodies were only dumped in the area.

One of the men had a nylon cord tied around his neck while the other had an iron chain around his neck, he added.
