A 48-year-old woman reported missing on Tuesday was found dead inside a drum in her house in Bacoor City, Cavite.
The victim was identified as Mila Loslos.
She was found wrapped in a garbage bag and sealed with duct tape inside a drum in her home at Lot 7, B2, Santero Subdivision., Bgy. Habay 1, Bacoor City.
Police arrested Loslos’ live-in partner William Thomas Worth, 71, an American national.
A report to Cavite Provincial Director Police Colonel Christopher Olazo by Bacoor City Police Station chief Lt. Col. Ruther Saquilayan showed the victim’s 21-year-old son Nino Jay Loslos, of CAA Las Pinas, went to the Bacoor Police Station and reported that her mother was missing since May 5.
Nino Jay became suspicious when he visited her mother’s house and smelled something foul from inside. He returned to the police station and reported the incident.
During a follow-up operation, authorities found the blue drum containing the victim’s body inside the residence she shared with Worth.
Also covered by the Cavite Provincial Forensic Unit at the crime scene were three knives and a nylon rope.
Police theorized the victim fought with her killer based on the wounds in her body.
Authorities are investigating the incident.
