Market vendor killed in own home in Taguig

MANILA, Philippines—A woman was found murdered in her own home in Taguig City, and police are looking at revenge as a possible motive.

Police reports said that Cecilia Esteban, 54, was found dead by her two nephews inside her house in DMC Extension, Barangay Sta. Ana, Taguig City, on Friday night.

Initial investigation showed that Esteban, who owned a stall at the Sta. Ana Public Market, sustained multiple stab wounds in her head, abrasions on both her arms and marks of a rope around her neck—which the police said could have been the cause of her death.
