THE discovery of two cadavers on a roadside in Rodriguez, Rizal, sent shockwaves through the community.

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) confirmed on Thursday the grim identities of the victims: Anson Que, a prominent businessman, and his driver.

The circumstances surrounding their deaths remain shrouded in mystery, leaving authorities scrambling to piece together the events that led to this tragic end. The brutality of the crime has understandably sparked widespread fear and concern among residents.

The bodies were discovered early Wednesday morning, around 6 a.m., by a concerned citizen in Sitio Udiongan, Barangay Macabud. The gruesome scene unfolded as the bodies, found inside a nylon bag secured with rope, were discovered.

The victims’ faces were concealed with duct tape, adding another layer of horror to the already disturbing discovery. The sheer callousness of the act underscores the gravity of the situation and the urgent need for a thorough investigation.

Further details emerged from a report by James Agustin on GMA Integrated News’ Unang Balita.
