The suspect turned herself in to the police along with her father on Tuesday, December 6, according to Capt. Rhojn Darell Nigos, the chief of the La Castellana Police Department. The suspect also confessed to the crime she did. She informed the police that she had committed a crime, and the officers responded right away to the scene. There, they discovered a woman’s body.

The suspect claims that after they left a computer shop, she encouraged her cousin to go on a walk with her. But the suspect allegedly confronted the victim about a rumor and the reason she was being humiliated in front of people after reaching an isolated area.

The suspect disclosed that there were various rumors about her having several men. She became enraged as a result and stabbed the victim multiple times. Still unsatisfied, she whacked the victim in the head with a rock, which resulted in immediate death, based on the report.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) La Castellana is now holding the aforementioned suspect in custody. According to Nigos, they are waiting for the findings of the postmortem examination to find out the victim’s other injuries.

According to him, they are also determining if the suspect committed the crime on his own or if a third party was present who may have given the suspect assistance or given him instructions. Netizens claimed that this serves as a lesson to all “marites,” or gossipers.
