The head of a man with dismembered body parts was found in Barangay Quezon, Arevalo, Iloilo City in the late afternoon of November 7, 2023.

A resident said he noticed of the sack in the area since November 6, 2023 but because he initially thought it was garbage he never gave it a thought again until it gave off a foul smell.

As soon as other residents mentioned of a report on a decapitated body found in Barangay Buhang, Jaro on November 6, 2023 and two arms chopped off from a man’s body, kept also in a sack and dumped in Barangay Ticud, La Paz, they immediately called for police assistance thinking that inside the sack could be the missing head.

The authorities confirmed that inside the sack is the head of Kristopher Cabalquinto, a resident of San Miguel town, Iloilo.

The body comes with a note on a cardboard which reads: “Babala sa mga adik ibabalik ang kamay na bakal PDU30 2023.”

The head was taken to the funeral homes where the rest of the body parts were put together.

Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas said he already ordered the Iloilo City Police Office to have the crime resolved the soonest and to ensure further the safety and security in the city.

“This is very gruesome, at the same time I have not seen anything like this before. Ang akon napangayo sa PNP nga madakop ta guid ini,” Mayor Treñas said.
