Woman found dead in canal in Binangonan

The body of a 31-year-old woman was recovered by authorities in a water duct in Binangonan, Rizal. 

According to Oscar Oida's "24 Oras" report, victim Janiclear Cahilig was found lifeless in a canal along Quarry Road around 7 a.m. on Tuesday.

Police said the body may have been left in the area since Sunday evening.

"'Yun po ay madamo madilim wala pong ilaw sa poste at walang CCTV doon. Maaari po ito na hinataw po ng matigas na bagay sa ulo,"  said Binganonan Police chief Police Lieutenant Evangeline Santos.

(She was found in a dark and grassy area. There's no CCTV there. It's also possible she was hit by a hard object.)

The victim was positively identified by her live-in partner, who said she was last seen alive on Sunday at around 4 p.m.

"Pinagluto pa nga niya ako. Pagkatapos niya pong magluto nagpaalam lang po siya na maghahatid ng pagkain sa kabila sa kabilang bahay po tapos di na siya nakabalik pero noong time na yon nakapagpaalam pa siya sa anak ko na may pupuntahan daw siya," the victim's partner said.

(She cooked for us then told our child she was going out. She never returned.)

"Sa gumawa nito sa asawa ko, pagbabayaran niyo ito. Hindi kayo makakatakas," he added. 

(Those who were behind this will pay.) 

Authorities said they secured CCTV foootage in several areas which can help in their investigation. —Sundy Locus/NB, GMA Integrated News
