In Bohol, man accused of stalking then killing 25-year-old woman
CEBU CITY, Philippines – A 25-year-old woman was killed by her alleged stalker in Talibon town in Bohol on Friday, October 13, 2023. Police in Talibon Police Station confirmed that a stabbing incident occurred at Purok 4, Brgy. Calituban, Talibon, and claimed the life of a female college graduate. The victim was identified as Rosana Amorin, who is also a resident of the same area. The suspect, Jerald Garcia, is currently under police custody. Amorin sustained a total of eight stab wounds, said Police Corporal Elton Jan Fuentes who is part of the investigating team. Citing their initial findings, Fuentes said Garcia had allegedly been stalking Amorin before committing the crime. A few days prior to her untimely demise, the victim had apparently caught the suspect trailing her. She called out his attention, said Fuentes. Police believed personal grudge as Garcia’s motive in attacking and then killing Amorin. “Basin nauwaw (pagkahuman nasakpan siya nga nagsunod-sunod sa biktima),” Fuentes added. According to investigators, the crime took place around 3:30 a.m. on Friday. The suspect trespassed the Amorins’ residence by accessing the house’s back door, which was unlocked. Garcia, carrying a kitchen knife, went towards the victim’s room where she was sleeping. The victim’s older brother told the police he suddenly woke up after hearing Rosana’s screams. He rushed to her room where he reportedly saw the suspect clutching the knife and the younger Amorin bathed in her own blood. The brother immediately apprehended Garcia, and called the authorities. Neighbors have also heard the commotion and helped the older Amorin bring Garcia to the barangay hall. Rosana was rushed to a nearby hospital but she succumbed to her stab wounds shortly. Fuentes said they will file murder charges against Garcia on Monday, October 16. In the meantime, police continue to verify reports that the suspect had apparently been under the influence of illegal drugs when he committed the crime. Police have also seized the murder weapon from Garcia.

Basilan Province Information Officer Richard Falcatan formally announced the identity of the half-body cadaver — a certain Private First Class Marion Malda who is a member of the Philippine Army and assigned to Sulu province. According to Falcatan, the identity of the remains was confirmed by Malda’s brother through secondary identification, as the half-body cadaver was wearing maong denim pants. “The pants on the recovered cadaver have led the brother to identify it as that of his brother,” Falcatan said. Authorities conducting the search and rescue operation have so far recovered 33 cadavers of passengers of the ill-fated M/V Lady Mary Joy 3. They were identified as Arsaic Damil, Nuripa Hamid, Nasara Jamalul, Rashiv Khan Jamalul, Anacleto B. Ponollera and Ponollera, all from Zamboanga City.

The vessel has 195 boat passengers listed in the boat passengers list and 35 crew members. However, many who were rescued and died during the incident were not listed in the passenger manifest of the vessel.
