The stuffed toys, ballons, and stickers displayed at the occasion make it look like like a young girl’s birthday party.
A Hello Kitty-themed funeral was held for a 16-year-old girl from Navotas who was fatally shot by four unidentified men on motorcycles last week.
The victim was last seen alive on April 17. The next day, her family saw her photos on social media, after the Obando Police asked for help in identifying her body.
“If she had really suffered during her last moments, then at least we are able to give her what she wants even if she’s dead,” said the victim’s sister in a report by ABS-CBN News.
The victim was shot five times in the thigh, arm, back, and head.
According to the police, it is possible that the victim was killed as part of the bloody anti-drug campaign. However, the victim’s family insists that she is neither using nor selling illegal drugs.
The victim’s family is still waiting for the autopsy report. Investigations are still ongoing.
