ORMOC CITY — Four teenagers, one of them a girl, were found dead in two villages here on Friday, with both hands tied at the back with packing tape and bullet wounds in the heads in summary execution style.
Illegal drugs were not discounted although the police investigators were looking into earlier reports that the teenagers were part of the “salisi gang” that victimized passengers at the bus terminals.
Of the four, only one was identified – Jason Carillo, 16, a resident of Barangay (village) San Jose, this city.
Jason, who had a gunshot wounds in the back, chest, neck and head, was found dead in Barangay Sumangga, about 6 a.m.
He was identified by his father, Rogelio, who went to Sumangga after he heard over the radio about the bodies of two teenagers found in the village.
The police had yet to identify the body of the other teenager.
But Rolando said Jason was with the other teenager when his son went to the bar where he worked to ask for money.
He added he had suspicion that the two other bodies found in Barangay Salvacion about three hours earlier were also those of his son’s companions.
One of the two was a girl who had a tattoo on her right hand that read “Jeann.”
According to the Scene of the Crime Operatives, the girl was about 17 years old and had bullet wounds in her back, in the neck and in the back of her head.
The body of the male teenager, who was also about 17, suffered two gunshot wounds in the neck and three in the face.
The SOCO found five empty shells of a .45 caliber pistol and a slug of unknown caliber.
The bodies in Salvacion were discovered by Ricky Pepito who was on his way to pasture his cow. The bodies of the two other victims were found by a passer-by, village councilor Gilbert Pilapil. CDG/rga
