CERVANTES, Ilocos Sur -- Police still have to identify killers of a young lady whom they raped and dumped on a farm here last week.

Police said Norma Talawan, 23, a resident of Barangay Malaya, went out to gather vegetables in the family farm but did not return home.

Investigators said that apart from the stab wounds, the victim’s underwear was pulled down to her legs.

Police said they are still trying to get evidence so they could pin down the perpetrators as witnesses, if any, have not yet surfaced. 

The killing has shocked residents of this rustic town who said police should arrest the perpetrators sooner as women are now afraid to venture alone in remote places like farms.
