MANILA, Philippines - A 61-year-old man was found dead in a motel room in Pasig City Thursday, hours after he checked in with a still unidentified woman.
Police officers are searching for Ricardo Guillermo Graza’s companion, described to be between 18 to 20 years old, good-looking, long-haired and fair-skinned, said city police chief Senior Superintendent Mario Rariza.
The two checked in at the Woodstock Inn at past 1 p.m. Thursday. They arrived in a white Honda CRV (XLP-704), said room attendant Conrado Mesina.
After several hours, Mesina saw the woman hurry out of the motel and board a passenger jeepney bound for Cainta, Rizal. The motel employees tried but failed to catch the woman.
Mesina said they called up Graza’s room but no one responded, prompting them to open it using a duplicate key. Employees said they found Graza’s naked body lying on the floor near the bathroom, with a pillow under his head.
Graza’s body showed no sign of external injuries, police said.
