Police tap computer experts in slay of talent manager

-

MANILA, Philippines - Police will tap the services of computer experts in the investigation on the rob-slay of a 52-year-old talent manager in Sampaloc, Manila Monday night.

According to Manila Police District’s homicide section head Chief Inspector Erwin Margarejo he is looking for computer experts who can enhance the images on the footages of the close-circuit television (CCTV) camera installed at the lobby of the University Tower in Sampaloc, Manila where the killing took place. “The footages were blurred and hazy, but through computer enhancement I think we can identify the possible suspects,” Margarejo told The STAR.  

The body of Nicanor Manzano, owner of Body Flash Modeling and Talent Agency which supplies talents to the movie industry, was discovered inside the bathroom of his 16th floor unit of the condominium. Manzano sustained at least six stab wounds, according to case investigator SPO2 Paul Dennis Javier. The victim’s P5,000 cash, two cellular phones, a DVD player, a pair of brown rubber shoes, a pair of brown rubber slippers, two bankbooks, a handbag, and room and car keys were missing, Javier said.

The victim’s room was in disarray with splotches of blood all over. A used man’s brief and a man’s sock were scattered on the floor.

Javier said the victim’s body was initially discovered by his driver, Edmund Bogate, who rushed to his master’s unit after the victim failed to respond to several text messages sent by him. “Mr. Bogate is supposed to drive his master to an appointment. He became worried when Mr. Manzano failed to answer his text messages,” Javier said.

Investigation showed the victim arrived at the condominium Sunday night with a male companion. An hour later, two males arrived and logged their names as “Jayniel” and Rusty de la Cruz, informing the security guard on duty that they are friends of the victim.       – Nestor Etolle
