Residents found the lifeless, bloodied body of a woman near a mini dam in Barangay San Francisco, Bugallon, Pangasinan.

Police said the victim was 20 years old and a resident of Barangay Salomague Sur.

Initial investigation showed that the victim may have been killed elsewhere and her body dumped near the dam.

Authorities are still determining the exact cause of death, while the victim’s family has yet to release a statement, as of this writing.

PLT. John Zacarias, operations officer of Bugallon Police Station, said they are already tracking possible suspects.

“Meron na po tayong persons of interest na tinutumbok, mga follow-up na lang po ng mga imbestigador hanggang sa matumbok natin po iyong kung sino po iyong may kagagawan nito,” he said.

Police continue to investigate the case and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
