VILLASIS, Pangasinan -- This
is straight out of a murder mystery.
A 54-year-old
businesswoman was found dead in her home in here last week.
Police are
still investigating the crime but unlike most cases, a report Tuesday revealed the
victim herself left a clue for authorities.
The victim,
Remedios Maer, was stabbed 17 times and was found dead in her home on Thursday,
police said.
The victim wrote
on the floor with her own blood the name of her killer.
Found on the
crime scene floor was the word “Keyung” written in what authorities believe
was the victim’s blood, radio station DWIZ said.
DWIZ also
reported that Maer was alone in her home when the incident happened.
An early news
report was unsure
of what the word was referring to but police found
that “Keyung” is the alias of Maer’s former contractor who she was previously
in conflict with.
Authorities
also found that Keyung had allegedly threatened to hurt Maer.
“That his
name was written is important evidence. We also gathered other evidence and
found that the two were in conflict and that the suspect had threatened the
victim,” said Chief Insp. Fernando Fernandez, chief of the Villasis Police.
Reports said the
victim’s son Kevin Kyle Maer failed to get a hold of his mother the whole day,
which is why he asked his friends to visit her house, leading them to find her
lifeless body.
Police are
still looking for Keyung and think the crime might have been a case of a
robbery gone wrong because two
of the victim’s bags and some money were missing.
