A 15-year-old girl was found dead at a cassava plantation in Barangay Quipot in Janiuay, Iloilo early Sun, Jul 26.
Police said the victim earlier told her siblings that she would go out Saturday to get some cassava from their small plantation.
However, she failed to return home that day, prompting her siblings to worry.
The victim’s brother then found his sister already dead at the plantation, with her body bearing hack wounds.
The police said the still unidentified suspect may have tried to rape the victim. The victim’s family also suspect that this was the case.
The victim’s remains will be subject to an autopsy. Police said they already have leads on the suspect’s identity.
