Dead bodies of four men were discovered in different parts of Quezon City early Friday morning.
Maj. Elmer Monsalve, chief of Quezon City Police District's (QCPD) investigation unit, said two bodies were retrieved along Katipunan Ave. and one in Barangay Lagro, where about 15 fired cartridge cases were also recovered. The victims were reportedly in handcuffs.
Meanwhile, another one was retrieved along E. Rodriguez Ave. in Cubao. The victim's head and hands were wrapped with packaging tape. He also sustained ligature marks, "which possibly meant he was strangled," Monsalve said.
Monsalve said they also recovered identification cards from the three victims in Katipunan Ave. and in Barangay Lagro, but police are still verifying their identities.
"Sa ngayon, ongoing pa yung investigation namin... Kung titingnan ho kasi ang insidenteng ito... inaalam natin kung ito nga ba ay itinapon lang dito, ibinagsak lang dito or dito mismo pinatay (As of now, the investigation is still ongoing. We are still investigating if the dead bodies were only dumped here or the victims were killed here," he said over DZBB interview Friday afternoon.
Monsalve said that the suspect/s used pistols in killing the three victims, who sustained gunshot wounds. But he added, police are still investigating if they are connected.
The investigation chief said they are still gathering closed circuit television (CCTV) footage from the area and waiting for families who will claim the bodies of the victims.
