Killing of female driver in Laguna baffles cops, kin

A female driver in Calamba, Laguna was found dead with multiple stab wounds inside her car Sunday night, according to Darlene Cay's report on Unang Balita on Tuesday.

Jang Lucero, 34, left home late Sunday night saying she was hired by three passengers to bring them to Metro Manila.

According to her kin, Jang had been moonlighting as driver using her own car ever since she lost her job due to the community quarantine being implemented amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Ang sakit... yung mga alaala naming dalawa [kapag] maalala ko, masakit," said Angela Lucero, the victim's mother.

Jang's body was found with multiple stab wounds inside her car that was parked on Bypass Road in Laguna. Police said none of her important belongings were missing.

"Na-imagine mo na nasaksak siya, wala kahit isang sumasaklolo. [Sino] kayang tinawag niya, Panginoon ba o ako ba?" Angela emotionally said. "Nakaka-miss, nakakaawa. Kung ano isinigaw niya nung nawalan na siya ng hininga."

According to Meyah Amatorio, the victim's girlfriend, it was already late when Jang left their house to meet the persons who hired her. She said she was skeptic on who would hire Jang late on a Sunday night.

"Nakita ko yung convo (conversation) nila [sa phone], oo nga, meron ngang pasahero, tatlo. Doon ako nagalit. Sabi ko bakit tatlo tapos ganitong oras," she said.

She added that Jang left in a hurry after the passengers  threatened to drop her services.

Amatorio also said they learned of Jang's fate when they called her phone and a policeman answered asking them to go to the police station.

"Wala akong naaalala na may nakaaway siya before o ngayon," said Amotorio.
