The body of Susana Navarro, who worked at the St. Louis de Mavillac College in Sorsogon, was discovered by security guard Ronaldo Perez at the bottom of the staircase of the Fersal Inn located on 14th Avenue in Cubao.
Perez said that he was manning his post outside the inn when he heard "a lady screaming followed by a loud thud." He found Navarro, face down with blood oozing from her head.
Sources said the victim checked in a day earlier with a male companion. Investigators are still trying to determine his identity.
One source claimed foul play could be involved since the victim and her companion were heard arguing inside their rented room.
"We still don’t know up to this point if it was suicide or murder, but we’ll have this solved in a few days," the source said.
Meanwhile, police are now looking for a 37-year-old man after he stabbed to death a drinking buddy after midnight yesterday in Novaliches.
Warlito Gaudiel, 42, of Kinspoint Subdivision, Branagay Bagbag succumbed to stab wounds while being rushed to QC General Hospital.
The suspect was identified as a certain Ronnie, 37.
