A HOUSEHOLD helper who was reported missing by her relatives was found dead inside a drum at her employers’ home in Cainta, Rizal.
Police identified the victim as Maribel Bacsal, 42. She was last seen alive last Thursday.
According to the victim’s aunt, Ruby, who also works at the same house, told police that she asked their employers, an elderly couple, about Bacsal’s whereabouts. The couple said Bacsal did not report for work.
Ruby on Sunday went to their employers house saw her niece’ belongings. She immediately sought the help of the police.
Policemen search the house and found the victim inside the drum.
“Dalawang drum na pinagpatong. Pinasok siguro sa loob tapos tinakpan ng isa pang drum. Noong pinasok namin, medyo mahirap buksan. Siguro i-sineal pa noong binuksan nga namin, kita na namin yung paa,” said Maj. Alfonso Saligumba III of the Cainta Police Station in a television interview.
Authorities are investigating who could be behind the tragic killing of Bacsal as her employers were both old, with one being bed-ridden.
