Woman’s torso found in San Juan
Jocson said he will coordinate with other police units in Metro Manila to identify the victim and determine the motive behind her gruesome murder.
“We have no idea as yet why she was killed and only her torso dumped here,” Jocson said in an interview.

Thinking that she might find something to sell inside, Lopez opened the first bag, which contained neatly folded women’s clothes, pairs of pants and underwear.
When she turned her attention to the second bag, Lopez noticed that it was much heavier than the first bag. She found a woman’s torso inside the bag.
The surprised Lopez reported her gruesome find to nearby residents, who in turn called up the local police.
Responding Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) said the victim’s private parts had been mutilated, possibly indicating that her killer or killers may be mad at her.
SOCO agents added that the woman’s torso bore no identification marks except for a mole on the buttocks.
One of the recovered pairs of pants bore a name, Delia Rodriguez, said Police Officer 1 Andrei Antazo.
Antazo said the clothes may indicate that the victim may have been sent away from home, “but we are not sure if the clothes or the name on the pair of pants are the victim’s.”
Jocson ordered a citywide search for the victim’s other body parts but none were found.
“We have no report of a missing person,” Jocson said.
The torso was brought to the crime laboratory of the Philippine National Police (PNP) in
