4 found dead in Pampanga overnight

Four bodies were found Tuesday morning in different parts of Pampanga province, a report by GMA News' Susan Enriquez on "24 Oras" said.

The report said three bodies—one female and two male—were first found in Barangay Maliwalu in Bacolor.

It said one of the victims was found half-buried, while the two others were found beside each other.

“Noong nakita naming yung dalawa sa dulo, pareho silang may bakas sa leeg, tapos may butas sa sintido. Hindi po namin inaalis kung ano yung puwede maging cause of death nila,” PO1 Victor Eduardo of Bacolor Police

He also said they found the bodies after following a blood trail.

“Noong nakita naming may dugo, sinundan naming yung trail niya,” Eduardo said.

Police have yet to identify the three victims, the report said.

Meanwhile, another male corpse was found past 9 a.m. in a parked vehicle along McArthur Highway in Barangay Balite, San Fernando City.

The victim sustained stab wounds and his face, hands and feet were taped.

San Fernando Police chief Superintendent Jean Fajardo said they already identified the victim but the family declined to publicly release it.

It was not known if the killings were related to the Duterte administration's ongoing war on illegal drugs.  —Joseph Tristan Roxas/KBK, GMA News
