Teenage girl hammered to death inside house in Caloocan
A 17-year-old girl was hammered to death inside her house in Caloocan City on Monday, Oct. 23.
The Caloocan City Police Station (CCPS) is conducting an investigation to identify the suspect in the killing of the victim, a Grade 12 student, in her house on Sabalo Street in Barangay 12, Caloocan City.
CPPS said a 56-year-old laundress and neighbor of the victim saw the teenage girl lying inside her residence, with blood oozing from her head at around 1:30 a.m. on Monday.
The neighbor said she checked on the victim's house after hearing an unusual noise outside.
The sliding door of the victim’s house was already opened when she found her lying on the floor.
She sought help from the victim’s cousins who brought the girl to a hospital, but she was declared dead on arrival.
The victim died due to a severe traumatic head injury, police said.
CCPS chief Col. Ruben Lacuesta said the victim was apparently hit in the head with a hammer which was recovered by probers in the crime scene.
