The headless body of a suspected snatcher was found stuffed inside a Marlboro cigarette box. His severed hands and feet were also found in the same box, said investigators of the Central Police District-Criminal Investigation Unit (CPD-CIU).
A tag was found on the body with words "Isnatser ako. Huwag tularan Vigilante," police said, adding that the victims head is yet to be found.
SPO1 Rodrigo Barrameda said the chopped up body was found by vendor Joselito Pineda beside a Philippine National Bank (PNB) branch at the corner of General Araneta Avenue and Aurora Boulevard at the Araneta Center in Cubao, Quezon City.
Pineda told probers he spotted two suspicious-looking boxes left unattended outside about one oclock in the morning. He immediately called for police assistance regarding his gruesome find.
