Authorities have recovered a steel saw and a chopping knife believed to have been used in the gruesome murder of a man whose body was later found dismembered in Binondo, Manila. According to a police report, the tools were found in a trash can on the 15th floor of a building after allegedly being thrown away by the suspects.
Col. Joselito De Sesto revealed that the suspected murder weapon was discovered when a janitor noticed the protruding part of the saw while he was cleaning the area. At first, the janitor allegedly did not know that it was related to the crime and hid the tools because he thought they could still be used.
The investigation revealed that the body parts were disposed of on February 16, and investigators immediately conducted a backtracking operation the next day. By the morning of February 18, the recovery of the evidence was finally confirmed. The cleaner voluntarily approached the authorities after noticing the heavy police presence in the building.
Currently, the police are conducting a wide-ranging manhunt operation to identify and arrest those responsible for the heinous crime. Authorities assured that the investigation will be intensified to achieve justice for the victim and hold the guilty accountable.
