BODY FOUND

Passersby discovered a headless corpse at the edge of a cane field early yesterday morning in Sitio Cagbungalon, Bago. The unclothed naked body was that of a man believed to be about thirty-five years old. He had been dead for several days already. The victim's hands were tied behind his back, and bore multiple stab wounds, characteristic of so-called “salvage” murders by anticommunist factions. The remains are available for inspection and identification at Guzman Funeraria in Bacolod.
