16 YEARS OLD GIRL VICTIM OF RAPE
Four men who, according to the police, were on the drug watchlist of Barangay Pinagbuhatan in Pasig City have been arrested for the death and rape of a 16-year-old girl who failed to come home on Sunday night.
Senior Supt. Orlando Yebra Jr., Pasig police chief, identified the four as Joel Manuel, 31; his brothers Emmanuel Jr., 27 and Jomari, 22; and their friend, John Jericho Peralta, 18, who reportedly served as the lookout.
Joel and Emmanuel Jr. were the first to be arrested at 5 p.m. Wednesday. The other suspects were picked up hours later by policemen during a follow-up operation.
The four were positively identified by a witness who said the brothers stopped the victim, Grace Omadlao, as she was walking home from a computer shop around 10 p.m. Sunday. She was about 100 meters away from her house in Centennial II, Villa Esguerra Homes, Barangay Pinagbuhatan.
All four suspects face charges for rape with homicide. The police, however, are looking for two more “persons of interest.”
