Taguig creek yields suitcase, woman’s body

The body of an unidentified woman was found inside a blue suitcase dumped in a creek in Purok 5, Barangay Tanyag, Taguig City, at about 12:30 p.m. on Friday.

According to the Taguig City Police Station, the victim’s body was wrapped in a black plastic garbage bag when it was discovered.

Police estimated the woman was between 35 and 40 years old. She was wearing blue shorts and a black blouse with a white design.

Authorities also noted two distinctive tattoos that may help identify the victim: a black geometric and tribal-inspired band tattoo on her lower right leg, and a Philippine sun tattoo with four stars on her left forearm, accompanied by a cursive inscription that could not be clearly read.

The body was taken to Loreto Funeral Homes for an autopsy and other forensic examinations to determine the cause of death and establish the victim’s identity.
