A 17-year-old boy who was reportedly kidnapped by four armed men was found dead in a vacant lot in Payatas B, Quezon City on Thursday morning.
The victim was identified as Jefferson delos Santos. He was found with a gash at the back of his head, bruises all over his body, and puncture wounds in the chest – presumably from being stabbed by an ice pick.
Police investigators said armed men nabbed the teenager on Wednesday evening. The motive for the abduction and killing is still unknown, Inquirer News reported.
