CAMP VICENTE LIM, Laguna, Philippines — A woman, her daughter and her seven-year-old nephew were found dead at their rented apartment in Barangay San Juan, Cainta, Rizal on Wednesday.
The bodies of Angelica Manaloto, 24; Nica Mangi, 4, and Renz Orly Trinidad, 7, which bore stab wounds, were discovered by Manaloto’s brother Ericson, 26, and their neighbors, according to Lt. Col. Orlando Carag, Cainta police chief.
”No bullets were recovered at the crime site,” Carag said.
Ericson told probers that he sought assistance from the neighbors of the victims when no one responded to his call. He said the main gate was closed, but the door of the house was open when he arrived.
Carag said footage of closed-circuit television cameras at the scene are being reviewed.
Probers are eyeing robbery as the motive as some of Manaloto’s belongings were missing.
