Police said the boy was discovered dead by another 14-year-old boy.
Prior to the incident, the boy was accused of stealing a thousand pesos and was brought to the barangay hall for questioning. The police said the boy might have feared his siblings who are all working in here in the city would beat him up for his misdemeanor.
Police had advised relatives to have the body autopsied. - Norvie S. Misa, UV-Journalism Intern
