The discovery was made around 5:00 a.m. by an e-bike driver, who promptly reported the incident to Bacolod City Police Station 8.
According to PCapt Sherwin Galupar, the station chief, the victim is estimated to be between 30 and 40 years old, with a height of approximately 5”3’, of medium build and brown complexion.
The individual was found shirtless and wearing only boxer shorts.
The victim sustained a large wound to the neck and multiple bruises.
