The corpse of a 67-year-old woman who was buried Sunday, August 28, was removed from her coffin at the public cemetery in Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental.
It was the caretaker of the cemetery who discovered the body of the elderly woman with no clothes on, Monday morning, August 29.
Lt. Col. Raymond Cruz, city police chief, said it is possible that the incident happened Sunday night or early Monday morning.
One of the possible motives is that the suspects may have been looking for valuables on the body of the corpse, but the family said that there were none in the coffin, the police said.
It was not yet clear if the elderly woman was raped, the police said.
An investigation is ongoing.*
